Tough upcoming stretch will forecast UTEP’s C-USA tourney hopes

A season isn’t over until it’s over but......

UTEP’s next five game stretch could decide the Miners fate in making the C-USA tournament with a respectable seed, or force them to watch the tourney from their dorms.

Saturday’s road trip with UTSA starts a stretch of five games featuring four teams from inside the top 5 in the current standings. UTEP is currently a shaky 2-4 in the C-USA ranks after last beating FIU.

And oh yeah….UTSA has some really good freshman and isn’t an easy W anymore either.

After UTEP’s one hour flight to the 210 to face UTSA tomorrow, UTEP will hit the road for the daunting UAB-Middle Tennessee swing next week where teams are usually humbled by two of C-USA’s most prominent programs.
