It seems like he just arrived in El Paso as a fresh faced teenager from Memphis, but it's been nearly five years since Gabe McCulley officially began his career as a Miner.  Tonight, he will play his final game at the Haskins Center.  It's been fun watching McCulley persevere through injury and emerge as the leader of a young squad...

The entire basketball world is convening in central Florida for the NBA All Star Break.  Tim Floyd once coached in the NBA, Michael Jordan's son hoops it up for UCF, and Julian Washburn's father was the third pick in the 1986 NBA draft.  T...

It took the majority of the season, but it seems as though UTEP has finally figured out a way to win close basketball games.  The Miners have won their last 4 games, 2 of which went into overtime against Tulane and Southern Miss.

Post game press conferences are always a little tense and uneasy.  Nobody really wants to be there, and if the team lost the coach is in an especially foul mood. There is a strange phenomenon that happens when a coach goes against the norm and says something mildly amusing...

As the Miners head to the Gulf for a three-game road swing, we'll give you a whiff of some home-cookin'. Here's UTEP freshman Julian Washburn's no-look reverse dunk from last Wednesday's 70-56 win over East Carolina.
