I’d love to have conversations with kids my age to see how they feel about UTEP athletics. The odds of the connection with the youth for UTEP changing is low, but one can dream.
At a crossroads in their season, the Miners have to hope they can snap their three-game losing streak on the road against a tough LA Tech team on Saturday.
Despite the loss in the championship round of the WestStar Don Haskins Sun Bowl Invitational, the Miners showed growth in a tough 47-46 loss to Kent State on Thursday night.
On early signing day, UTEP took the same approach as they typically have done under head coach Dana Dimel and signed 17 newcomers to the team with 15 coming from the junior college ranks.
Despite their recent struggles in recent years, the athletic program has over 20+ NCAA national championships and prides itself on the historic 1966 men’s basketball national championship.
