Following a dismal first quarter shooting performance, and a period where leading scorer Katarina Zec played four minutes in early foul trouble, the UTEP Women's basketball team mounted a heroic late comeback to overcome numerous obstacles in their 67-63 win over North Texas...

North Texas controlled the Miners on Saturday night, scored 30 points in the paint and forced 13 turnovers en route to win 67-57.

Through this last up-and-down month, UTEP desperately needed an extra boost from their backcourt as a collective.

The UTEP men's basketball team (11-8, 2-4 C-USA) is searching for its first road win since March 3, 2018, and they will have their best chance of the season thus far when they square off against Rice (9-11, 1-6 C-USA) on Thursday night.

A third of the way into C-USA play, the UTEP men's and women's basketball teams are on opposite ends of the league's standings.

UTEP needed Katia Gallegos just like she needed UTEP. It was a perfect match for a team that desperately needed a true point guard for the past two seasons. For Gallegos, the opportunity was, and continues to be, a dream come true.

The best part of last night's program record 24-point comeback overtime win by UTEP over UTSA was watching Twitter and the many reactions from Miner fans.

UTEP made history in their come-from-behind 80-77 overtime victory against UTSA on Thursday night in front of 4,442 fans at the Haskins Center.

If you were one of the 4,442 in attendance at the Don Haskins Center on Wednesday night, consider yourself lucky as UTEP erased a 24-point second half defect en route to their largest come-from-behind win in program history by defeating UTSA 80-77 in overtime...

UTEP has lost six of their last eight games and they will play host to the Roadrunners (8-9, 2-2 C-USA) on Wednesday night, who have won eight of their last 12 games after losing five straight games to start the season.
