Hopefully, this is the beginning of a new “Golding Era” of Miner B-ball!

One day after new head coach Joe Golding was introduced to the El Paso community, forward Kristian Sjolund became the latest men's basketball player to enter the transfer portal as first reported by Verbal Commits.

All eyes are on Director of Athletics Jim Senter to fill the hire for the UTEP men's basketball coaching vacancy.

Through a largely back-and-forth battle, Florida Atlantic pulled away with a 76-70 win over UTEP in the Conference USA Tournament on Wednesday night in Frisco, Texas.

This week, the men's and women's basketball squads will prepare for the Conference USA basketball championship tournament in Frisco, Texas.

Like their valiant effort on Saturday, the Miners duplicated their performance for a powerful 77-62 home victory against Charlotte at the Haskins Center on Sunday to complete the series sweep.

The program announced they would push their home series against Charlotte to Saturday and Sunday, instead of their originally scheduled Friday-Saturday games.

A positive test of COVID-19 and subsequent contact tracing within the UTEP men’s basketball team has led to the cancelation of their upcoming road series against Florida Atlantic, per the athletic department.
