Southern Miss. at UTEP Game Preview: UTEP starts crucial stretch with USM

An important two game home stand will dictate C-USA tournament seeding heading into the final weeks of conference play.

Starting this weekend and heading into next weekend, UTEP will face three teams all vying for a chance at a fourth place finish in the Conference USA standings.

It all starts with Southern Miss Thursday night, but matchups with LA Tech, Charlotte, and Old Dominion loom as potential games that will have major impact on the standings.

When the Golden Eagles swept UTEP and UTSA to end January, Doc Sadler's squad looked like a legit dream season buster, but has recently come back down to earth by losing four straight.
