And now UTEP will take this winning thing on the road.
The Miners got this season off to a miserable beginning, going 2-13 and losing 12 straight. They have now won three in a row, climbing from 12th place in the Conference USA standings to seventh. And they have done it the old fashioned way ... the Miner way — with defense and rebounding.
The three wins came in the Don Haskins Center. The Miners will play on Thursday night at 6 p.m. MST at Western Kentucky, then move over to West Virginia to face Marshall on Saturday evening.
