The NMSU men's basketball team has won 12 of its last 13 games against UTEP as the two schools prepare for their first meeting tomorrow night in El Paso.
Despite the fresh roster, Golding is still setting the bar high for this group, with the understanding that it might take time in the early part of the season.
To honor one of the most legendary names in El Paso basketball history, the UTEP men's basketball program named its multi-team event during Thanksgiving week after Jim Forbes.
The UTEP men's basketball team played their first secret scrimmage Saturday in Odessa against Tarleton State and the Miners defensive effort was the story.
Coming off the first 20-win season for the program since the 2014-15 season, 2nd-year head coach Joe Golding has certainly created some buzz around the city.
