UTEP basketball score

Using a huge run in the second half and with help from its stifling second half defense, the Miners were able to get their first Conference USA series sweep on Saturday after defeating FIU, 77-68.

Entering the game having lost seven of their last nine, the Miners had been starving for some momentum. They were boosted by a hot-shooting night at the Haskins Center on Friday, with a bounce-back win against Florida International, 75-59.

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.

The Miners pushed past Texas Tech 70-60 in a charity exhibition opener to the season, which was filled with lots of excitement and more than anything, tons of hope for the 2019-20 season.
