UTEP will play Florida A&M tonight without Souley Boum and Christian Agnew, and the Miners will need to solve their offensive struggles against the zone.
Using a huge run in the second half and with help from its stifling second half defense, the Miners were able to get their first Conference USA series sweep on Saturday after defeating FIU, 77-68.
Entering the game having lost seven of their last nine, the Miners had been starving for some momentum. They were boosted by a hot-shooting night at the Haskins Center on Friday, with a bounce-back win against Florida International, 75-59.
If the Division 1 Council grants immediate eligibility to all college basketball transfers tomorrow, UTEP will get a huge boost with Christian 'Saucy' Agnew.
Following the news Thursday of North Alabama leading scorer Christian Agnew transferring to UTEP, the Miners seized Salt Lake Community College sharpshooter Adam Hess on Friday.
