Thanks to a three-game win streak and a few things in the standings shaking out in the Miners’ favor, UTEP climbed up to the fifth seed and will face Liberty in the quarterfinal round of the CUSA Tournament on Thursday, March 14.
It's officially UTEP men's basketball gameday, as the Miners host McMurry for their first game of the season on Monday night at 7 p.m. at the Don Haskins Center.
UTEP received a positive commitment from a double-digit scoring mid-major transfer on Sunday that should provide a spark of optimism and excitement for the fan base.
The men’s matchup tips off at 4:00 with the Countdown to Tip-off Show, followed by a 4:30 local start between UTEP (9th seed) and Western Kentucky (8th seed).
Despite the fresh roster, Golding is still setting the bar high for this group, with the understanding that it might take time in the early part of the season.
