The Memphis Tigers were virtually unbeatable at home this season, that was until the Miners defeated them at the Fed Ex Forum on February 18th 60-58.

The UTEP Miners sustained a costly loss on Senior night at the Don Haskins Center on Wednesday night.  It was a disappointing end to the Miners home schedule, as Rice swept the season series by winning 68-61.  The Miners had a solid performance by senior Gabe McCulley, who shined in his last home game as a Miner, scoring 17.  John Bohannon added 13 points in the losing effort.

UTEP won a close game for the first time this season, defeating Tulane 54-52 in overtime on Saturday night.

With the NBA embroiled in a lockout, some cities are set to lose out on massive amounts of revenue, but Memphis is one city is looking to fight back. The Memphis City Council approved a resolution on Tuesday that will reportedly “explore all options” to go after the league to recover losses; as the lockout rolls on, a lawsuit is increasingly possible.

In an effort to secure the 2014 C-USA men's and women's basketball tournament, El Paso city council voted yesterday to offer up to $500,000 in additional guarantees.  That's $300,000 more than requested by local officials to lure the tournament back to El Paso.  The city had originally guaranteed $250,000 to host the 2014 tournament.
