In preparation for the 2017-18 men’s basketball season, UTEP will be hosting two exhibition games at the Don Haskins Center.
The Miners will welcome Sul Ross State University on Oct. 28 at 1 p.m., and then on Nov. 3 at 7 p.m., UTEP will battle Western New Mexico.
This year’s team has had the luxury of playing a lot of extra basketball before the start of the season.
First, to get things started, UTEP hosted a Newcomers versus Veterans scrimmage. The veterans edged out the newcomers 80-70.
Then, for the first time in 12 years, UTEP took a trip out of the country to Costa Rica, where they went 1-2 in the three games.
