UTEP needed Katia Gallegos just like she needed UTEP. It was a perfect match for a team that desperately needed a true point guard for the past two seasons. For Gallegos, the opportunity was, and continues to be, a dream come true.

UTEP made history in their come-from-behind 80-77 overtime victory against UTSA on Thursday night in front of 4,442 fans at the Haskins Center.

UTEP has lost six of their last eight games and they will play host to the Roadrunners (8-9, 2-2 C-USA) on Wednesday night, who have won eight of their last 12 games after losing five straight games to start the season.

Through 40 minutes of up-and-down basketball, the Miners (10-6, 1-2 C-USA) were able to break away through the final five minutes to defeat Southern Miss (76-64) and win their first game in C-USA. UTEP is now 9-0 at home for the first time since 1988-89.

Turmoil and adversity have been no secret to the UTEP men’s basketball team (9-6, 0-2 C-USA). But on Thursday evening, the squad has a chance to turn the page and put aside these odd few weeks as they host Southern Miss (4-11, 0-2 C-USA) at the Haskins Center.

UTEP sophomore guard Jordan Lathon, who previously entered the transfer portal following the Diamond Head Classic, is back on the Miners' basketball team, per sources.

Second-year UTEP men's basketball head coach Rodney Terry was released from a Miami area hospital on Friday, per UTEP athletics.

On an odd Thursday afternoon, the Miners fell in their C-USA opener on the road against Florida International, 69-67, leaving us as puzzled as before.

In the span of a 48-hour period, the UTEP men's basketball team went through a whirlwind of emotions. Rodney Terry addressed the media following practice Monday to talk about it all.

UTEP basketball starting point guard Jordan Lathon enters the transfer portal, one day after sophomore guard Nigel Hawkins did the same. Now, reports have come in saying Hawkins has pulled his name out of the transfer portal and will stay on the team.
