Following the opening week of college basketball, which the UTEP men’s team put on a show in front of their home crowd with the 88-54 blowout win against Louisiana College, the Miners are now set to travel to Charleston, South Carolina, for the Gildan Charleston Classic.
Wake Forest will be awaiting the Miners on Nov. 17 at 11:30 a.m. Mountain Time, and the winner will likely go head-to-head with the defending champions, the Villanova Wildcats. If they lose, the Miners will likely play Western Michigan on Friday, Nov. 18.
UTEP head coach Tim Floyd will have his hands full with the Demon Deacons as they are in the loaded ACC Conference with five schools ranked in the top-25 national polls.
