Forty-five seconds was the longest time the UTSA Roadrunners allowed the Miners to lead the game, as they pulled away with a dominant 71-58 victory in the first round of the C-USA Tournament, thus ending UTEP’s season.
With the win, UTSA (19-13) swept the Miners (11-20) this season, using dominant play on the glass and holding UTEP to shooting just 37 percent (22-of-30) from the floor.
This is the first time the Miners failed to move on in the C-USA Tournament since 2009.
“You know, it’s really disappointing,” interim head coach Phil Johnson said in a release.
