UTEP Director of Athletics Jim Senter announced the cancellation of the remaining spring football practices and the 2020 UTEP football spring game.

The UTEP men’s basketball team punched their ticket to the Conference USA Tournament, as they squeezed past Middle Tennessee, 60-56, on Wednesday night.

It's been a rocky two-month stretch for the Miners men's basketball team (13-14, 4-10 C-USA), who will enter Conference USA Bonus play on a five-game losing streak.

The UTEP Miners (13-10, 4-6 Conference USA) hope to put aside their inconsistent conference play and their road inefficiencies as they prepare for a tough two-game Conference USA road swing this week.

Efe Odigie had his season-best 15 points (6-of-12 FG) off the bench and 10 boards, along with another exceptional performance by Bryson Williams, who had 28 points and 10 rebounds in UTEP's 67-66 slim win against Middle Tennesee.

North Texas controlled the Miners on Saturday night, scored 30 points in the paint and forced 13 turnovers en route to win 67-57.

UTEP needed Katia Gallegos just like she needed UTEP. It was a perfect match for a team that desperately needed a true point guard for the past two seasons. For Gallegos, the opportunity was, and continues to be, a dream come true.

UTEP made history in their come-from-behind 80-77 overtime victory against UTSA on Thursday night in front of 4,442 fans at the Haskins Center.

UTEP has lost six of their last eight games and they will play host to the Roadrunners (8-9, 2-2 C-USA) on Wednesday night, who have won eight of their last 12 games after losing five straight games to start the season.

The full 2020 schedule for the Miners football team was released on Wednesday, featuring tough non-conference opponents and a challenging C-USA slate.
