EL PASO, Texas - The Aggies and Miners have clashed on the hardwood 96 times since the programs first met back in 1974. While that history is rich and deep, the rivalry will rise to new heights a half century later. The stakes are raised as old I-10 foes meet once again on Saturday; but as conference opponents for the first time. NM State is opening a new chapter by playing its first Conference USA game after joining the league in July 2023. UTEP has won the last eight meetings, but enter with a 5-8 mark in 2023-24.
