Keonte Kennedy, a four-star recruit from Austin Westlake out of the class of 2018, joins the Miners fresh off his first season with Xavier. He appeared in 22 games for Xavier, having logged just 12 minutes per game, 2.0 points, 1.4 rebounds and nearly an assist per game.

Today, Kevin Baker announced the trio of coaches hired for UTEP women's basketball—Todd Buchanan (associate head coach), Anthony Anderson (assistant coach and director of player development) and Heather Karner (assistant coach and recruiting coordinator).

In anticipation for their annual youth basketball summer camp, the UTEP men's basketball team took some time to provide updates to the media on summer workouts and advancements within the program.

Following the hiring of Kenton Paulino to the UTEP coaching staff nearly a month ago, Rodney Terry rounded out his assistant coaching circle with the addition of Arturo Ormond to the coaching staff earlier today.

UTEP assistant coach Brian Burton announced via Twitter today that he will not return to the program next season and has been removed from the staff.

As UTEP men's basketball starts their offseason following their 8-21 finish to the season, sophomore guard Evan Gilyard announced today on Twitter that he will be transferring from the program.

For the first time since the 1997-98 season, the UTEP men's basketball team will not be heading to a post-season conference tournament.

Through 50 minutes of basketball, which featured two overtimes, the Miners dominated the first 23 minutes, but the Owls awoke and fought back from a 20-point deficit, outlasting the Miners 85-81 in double overtime.

It's been 21 years since the UTEP men's basketball program missed a post-season conference tournament and currently sitting in the bottom pairing of the C-USA "Bonus Play" doesn't bode well for the Miners chances at making the C-USA Tournament.

The Miners fought back on a 23-6 run from the end of the first and beginning of the second half to give the Miners an 85-75 victory over Florida International on Saturday evening at the Don Haskins Center.
