The UTEP Miners led from wire to wire in a 100-81 victory over Division II opponent, the University of Texas at Permian Basin(UTPB) Falcons, with minimal turnovers and balanced scoring.
“The surreal part for us is that we’re actually getting a chance to play,” third-year UTEP Head Coach Rodney Terry said. “We were unsure, uncertain that we were going to play a season, and now we’re actually getting a chance to play. It’s a season where we don’t start off with an exhibition game, and we didn’t have a controlled scrimmage. So, it’s your first game and you’re trying to figure your team out.
