UTEP bears down for pivotal game against Marshall
UTEP vs. Marshall preview Wochit
So much has gone wrong for the UTEP men's basketball team mired in a four-game losing streak, but the Miners still have this: They are playing meaningful basketball in mid-February, starting with Saturday's 2 p.m. tip against Marshall.
To be clear, scrambling to be one of 12 teams in a 14-team Conference USA to make the league tournament isn't what they envisioned after an 8-1 start and that didn't even seem on the agenda three weeks ago, but it's where they are now.
