Southern Miss enters C-USA play with a 4-3 record, while the UTEP men's basketball team hopes to end a losing streak in Hattiesburg dating back to 2010.

Earlier on Wednesday, Conference USA confirmed that a pair of UTEP football games will be rescheduled to play during the first two weeks of December.

Saturday's contest between UTEP and Southern Miss has been postponed after the Golden Eagles experienced an increase in COVID-19 cases, per a release.

Despite their 1-3 record in 2020, Southern Miss brings a high-powered balanced offense into the Sun Bowl for their C-USA matchup against 3-2 the UTEP Miners.

Through 40 minutes of up-and-down basketball, the Miners (10-6, 1-2 C-USA) were able to break away through the final five minutes to defeat Southern Miss (76-64) and win their first game in C-USA. UTEP is now 9-0 at home for the first time since 1988-89.

Turmoil and adversity have been no secret to the UTEP men’s basketball team (9-6, 0-2 C-USA). But on Thursday evening, the squad has a chance to turn the page and put aside these odd few weeks as they host Southern Miss (4-11, 0-2 C-USA) at the Haskins Center.

The UTEP football team scored 13 points on one touchdown and a pair of field goals in their 31-13 loss to Southern Miss. It was another offensive struggle.

UTEP (1-2) is on the road to take on fellow C-USA member Southern Miss (2-2) for their first conference game of the year. See what the guys at 600 are predicting.

Time to take a deep dive into UTEP's current quarterback situation and what options lay ahead of them.

Coming off back-to-back losses, the Miners (1-2) will need to regroup and get ready to start Conference USA play, as they travel to face Southern Mississippi (2-2) on Saturday, Sept. 28.
