Idaho

Civil rights and women’s rights groups have joined notable athletes in asking the NCAA to move the first and second rounds of the 2021 men’s basketball tournament out of Idaho

The UTEP Miners squandered an 18 point lead, but held on to win their second consecutive game by defeating Idaho 64-60.  The Miners were fortunate to get the win, considering that they were held to just two field goals over the final 12:15 of the game.

Last season was quite a challenge for the UTEP basketball team to say the least.  The squad, which  predominantly consisted of freshmen, finished the season under .500 with a record of 15-17.  UTEP made it to the Quarterfinal round of the C-USA Tournament before losing to Memphis.
