The UTEP men’s basketball team (16-10, 9-5 Conference-USA ) were able to get the win and series sweep against the University of Southern Mississippi ( 6-20, 1-12 C-USA) Feb.19 at the Reed Coliseum. The Miners shot a high 54% from the 3-point line in this 84-70 victory, after playing very lethargic to start the game.
“I was proud of our guys, we figured it out,” UTEP Head Coach Joe Golding said. “Offensively, I thought that we were pretty good. Bottom line: it’s hard to win on the road and to come here and do it on a quick turnaround in a tough place to play, we’ll take it.
