So perhaps this is the best the UTEP men's basketball team can play.
After a solid first half against Charlotte, the Miners put together 11 immaculate minutes of basketball, ripping off a breathtaking 28-3 run that was part of a 77-62 annihilation of Charlotte.
UTEP's fourth consecutive win completed an 8-8 C-USA season that will send them to Kansas on Thursday as a red-hot team that now knows how good it can be.
How it went
From a 25-25 tie, UTEP closed the half on a 12-5 run that staked them to a 37-30 intermission lead, then the Miners hit and sustained a gear they had teased at various points in the season.
