The UTEP Miners were ready to play last night against Kansas. They came out flying, built a huge lead, and saw it all evaporate in the final minutes.

In a must-win situation, the UTEP men's basketball team answered the call by using a mighty second half performance to top UTSA 69-51, thus splitting the series with the Roadrunners.

UTSA's trio of guards combined for 65 points, as the Roadrunners raced away with an 86-79 win against UTEP on Thursday night.

Despite holding onto a lead for the entire game on Friday, the UTEP men’s basketball team played from behind throughout Saturday’s contest, falling 73-55 to LA Tech and splitting another series in C-USA play.

After 12 games, the UTEP men's basketball program is still an inconsistent bunch that keeps fans guessing as to which team will show up each night.

In what quickly turned into an awful blowout, North Texas demolished UTEP 63-33 in the first game of their two-game series on Friday.

The UTEP men's basketball squad will endure their second conference road series of the season, facing off against North Texas on Friday and Saturday in Denton.

Contrary to Friday's scoring fiasco, the Miners cooled off on Saturday, as Rice outlasted them 71-68 in the final minutes to split the series.

A trio of Miners scored 20 or more points, as they outlasted Rice 101-89 for their second consecutive win.

On Wednesday evening, they made that win even more special by shocking Pac-12 affiliate Arizona State, 76-63, in Tempe, Ariz.
