The UTEP football and softball programs are facing Level II-standard penalties, according to an agreement that was sent by the Division I Committee on Infractions on Tuesday morning.
And just like that, the UTEP men's basketball team is on a three-game winning streak.
After their series against FAU was canceled due to a positive case of COVID-19 within their locker room, the Miners were forced to regroup on a two-day practice turnaround before hosting Charlotte for its final two games of C-USA play...
The program announced they would push their home series against Charlotte to Saturday and Sunday, instead of their originally scheduled Friday-Saturday games.
The Miners needed a split against a quality team but fell short of the feat, as UAB dominated the slumping road team on Saturday (75-60) to sweep the series.
Less than 24 hours after the Miners suffered a meltdown in the final minutes, losing 74-66 (OT) in their C-USA opener, the team found redemption by dominating the Golden Eagles, 77-62, on Saturday and splitting the series.
