It was a good news/bad news night for the UTEP men's basketball team. The good news was that the Miners defeated UTSA 61-51 behind C.J. Cooper matching his career high with 20 points. The bad news is that both Louisiana Tech and Middle Tennessee also won tonight, which put UTEP into next week's C-USA Tournament as a 5-seed...

Courtesy: UTEP Athletics Vince Hunter scored eight of his 15 points during a 23-6 run late in the first half, propelling UTEP to an 81-62 rout of UTSA on Saturday afternoon at the Don Haskins Center. Coach Tim Floyd, who earned his 400th win, talked about Hunter's contributions and those of his teammates in the post-game press conference (at bottom).

Miners head coach Sean Kugler thought UTEP could have done better after a 32-13 loss to UTSA in the first-ever meeting between the two Conference USA schools. But, though he was disappointed in consistency, he praised the Miners' effort.

UTSA defeated UTEP 32-13 in their first ever meeting on Saturday night.  The Roadrunners literally ran all over the Miners in their C-USA opener.

More than 30,000 fans filled the Sun Bowl stadium to watch the UTEP Miners and UTSA Roadrunners clash in each's team's first C-USA game. The Miners had a 10-7 lead, before the Roadrunners scored 18 straight second quarter points. UTSA never looked back and handed UTEP their second loss of the season by a final score of 32-13...

The Sun Bowl fireworks just kept coming. Rockets and popcorn flashes and whistles and explosions. Too bad for UTEP that it was only halftime.

Coming off of the victory over NMSU in the Battle of I-10 last weekend, Miner fans had high hopes that UTEP could get a win in their first ever meeting with new I-10 and Conference USA rival, UT San Antonio. But after a poor first half, the 32-13 loss to UTSA has left Miner fans scratching their heads...

For the first time ever, UTEP will face UTSA in the Conference USA opener for both teams Saturday in the Sun Bowl in a game that could end up being a great conference rivalry. So, how are Sean Kugler and the Miners getting ready for the Roadrunners?

UTEP is getting ready for another big test Saturday night when they host UT San Antonio at the Sun Bowl Saturday night. The game is the first conference contest for the Miners, who are coming off of their first win of the season, a 42-21 victory over NMSU...

Fresh off an impressive and important road win at NMSU in Sean Kugler’s first win as a college head coach, the Miners turn their attention to the University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners.
