It is hard to believe that it has been 25 years since the passing of Hernell “Jeep” Jackson. On May 2nd, 1987, the UTEP point guard was playing in a benefit basketball game at Fort Bliss.

For many El Pasoans the tournament was an abject failure because UTEP fell to the Memphis in the final.  We are over a month removed from the event and the financial reconciliation for the tournament has been completed.

Per Jeff Darby,  UTEP Associate AD of Media Relations , UTEP will host UCF on Monday, February 21st at 11 A.M.
