Omega Harris came off the bench for the Miners and knocked in 23 points for the Miners. However, it was not enough to snap the Miners’ three-game losing streak, as NMSU beat UTEP for the second time this season, 73-53.
Despite starting the season with six consecutive victories, UTEP (6-4) now finds themselves in a four-game rut after the loss against NMSU.
Ian Baker, Jalyn Pennie and Pascal Siakam of the Aggies made it past double digits in scoring against the Miners, totaling 26, 14 and 14 total points, respectively.
