The UTEP's men's basketball roster is set and for the second season in a row, head coach Joe Golding failed to land a proven Division 1 low post scorer.
Stephen F. Austin forward Calvin Solomon will be wearing the Orange and Blue next year, as the transfer announced via social media he has committed to play for the Miners in the upcoming 2022-23 college basketball season.
For the first time in 18 years, UTEP went to LA Tech and upset the Bulldogs on their home floor in a back-and-forth 63-60 finish that featured 14 lead changes and eight ties.
Marshall (9-16, 2-10 C-USA) had lost 13 of their last 14 games going into the game, but the Thundering Herd looked like the better team for the majority of the contest and beat the Miners handily at the Haskins Center, 88-79.
The UTEP men's basketball squad (14-9, 7-4 C-USA) will prepare for their next home matchup against Marshall on Super Bowl Sunday, with a 1 p.m. tipoff at the Haskins Center.
UTEP is averaging just over 4,000 fans per home game, and the Miners high ticket prices are a big reason why fans are not filling up the Don Haskins Center.
