The UTEP men’s basketball team has had its fair share of ups and downs throughout the preseason, although the Miners (9-7) plan to push through to the C-USA Championships. Their most recent, and final, non-conference game against Chicago State ended in the Miners’ favor, with a 74-69 win over the Cougars (7-15) at the Don Haskins Center.
As the Miners push forward into the regular season, the preseason shows that UTEP has potential. The Miners started the preseason off strong back in November, winning five games in a row, two of which were a part of the SoCal Challenge tournament.
