At a crossroads in their season, the Miners have to hope they can snap their three-game losing streak on the road against a tough LA Tech team on Saturday.

The one thing you hear most often from people who come through El Paso is how hospitable everyone is here. Now, 3 Pitt football players can probably attest to that better than anyone before. The unlikely hero and source of that hospitality -- UTEP men's basketball head coach Joe Golding.

On early signing day, UTEP took the same approach as they typically have done under head coach Dana Dimel and signed 17 newcomers to the team with 15 coming from the junior college ranks.

Despite their recent struggles in recent years, the athletic program has over 20+ NCAA national championships and prides itself on the historic 1966 men’s basketball national championship.

On the heels of being dismantled 95-70 against NM State just a week prior, the Miners (6-3) are left to regroup ahead of C-USA play.
