The UTEP women's basketball team released its 20-game Conference USA schedule Tuesday, and while the Miner men have yet to release theirs, the conference portion will mirror the women's, reversing the sites.
UTEP will open its large C-USA campaign historically early, as the men host Louisiana Tech on Dec. 18 and the women travel to Ruston that night, beginning a league season that will feature a double round robin format. The men will close March 2 and 4 with a homestand against Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee, and the women travel to those two schools.
The schedule features a stretch of four games in seven days from Jan.
