As the only senior member of the UTEP men’s basketball team, forward Paul Thomas hasn’t had the senior year he’d hoped.
“I think it’s been good, you know as far as my development as a player,” Thomas said. “Wins and losses may tell a different story, but it’s tough with a new culture and a new coaching change (and) the young guys to win a lot of games.”
The Miners have an 8-19, 3-13 C-USA record on the season, and for the first time in 21 years (since 1998) the team failed to qualify for conference play.
