Miners basketball team

Fans asked questions about the 2022 offseason for UTEP basketball. Let’s talk some offseason storylines.

UTEP standout guard Souley Boum, who is top-10 all-time in career scoring for the Miners, announced today that he will be entering the NBA Draft while maintaining his college eligibility and entering the NCAA Transfer Portal.

After only one season at UTEP, assistant coach Butch Pierre is heading to Wichita State to join Isaac Brown's staff, first reported by Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

A trio of UTEP basketball guards entered the transfer portal on Tuesday, bringing the total to six players set to depart from the program this offseason.

Since the season concluded in The Basketball Classic postseason tournament, the Miners have had just three departures.

In a swift, resounding fashion, the Miners built a strong lead and never looked back en route to their round one win in the second round of the Conference USA Tournament, beating Old Dominion, 74-64.

On Monday, the league announced Souley Boum (2nd Team) and Jamal Bieniemy (3rd Team) were named to the All C-USA list. On the women's basketball side, Katia Gallegos (2nd Team) and Destiny Thurman (honorable mention) were recognized by league today with an all-conference honor.

The UTEP men's basketball team found a bit of magic in the regular season finale on Saturday afternoon and prevailed with a 70-68 upset victory over top-ranked C-USA team North Texas.

The UTEP men’s basketball team (16-11, 9-6) enters a three-game home stretch to close out the regular season with one of C-USA’s best in UAB coming to town on Saturday.

UTEP might not be a C-USA championship contender yet, but don't tell that to the current team. They believe they can compete with anyone across the league on the right night.
