UTEP men 59, Arkansas-Pine Bluff 50 Bret Bloomquist, El Paso Times
For the most part, the UTEP men's basketball team has played up to its high expectations during a 6-1 start.
There was the road loss at New Mexico State that extended the Miners' slump to 15 straight losses away from home, and they haven't always been sharp against lesser competition, though they've avoided any pratfalls.
Their was also the quality win against New Mexico and the home rout of the Aggies to break that long losing streak against their rivals.
