The UTEP men’s basketball winning drought continues following a 71-66 loss to Maryland Eastern Shore. The Miners are currently on a seven-game losing streak. The team is currently competing in the Don Haskins Sun Bowl Invitational, the nation’s oldest collegiate holiday basketball tournament.
Off to a surprisingly bad start, UTEP fell to 2-8 on the year after their sluggish offensive night against UMES (2-11). The Hawks were dealing with mismatches all over the court, since they were outsized at every position. But they did not back down to the Miners towering height, in fact, UMES looked like the aggressor on the hardwood all night.
