UTEP men’s basketball will welcome in New Mexico State University for the Battle of I-10 on Tuesday, Dec. 13. The Miners are coming off a nail-biting 78-77 loss to the New Mexico Lobos, and fell to 2-5 on the season, which is their worst start in the first seven games under head coach Tim Floyd since 2011-12.
On the other hand, NMSU is flying in hot with their 8-2 record with some impressive wins against UNM and Air Force. The Aggies are under new head coach Paul Weir.
Last season, NMSU swept their matchups against the Miners.
