The UTEP men’s basketball team (14-10, 7-5 Conference USA) fell to the University of Marshall (9-16, 2-9 C-USA) Feb. 13 at the Don Haskins Center. The Miners could not get stops on defense, which allowed Marshall to make consecutive baskets inside the paint, and outside the paint in this 79-88 loss.
Junior guard Souley Boum and junior guard Jamal Bieniemy scored in double figures in this contest, but that was not enough to overcome this loss.
“That’s just a talented team that can ball,” Boum said during a after game press conference. “They’re a good offensive team, they knocked us out of the tournament.
