UTEP men’s basketball team made history Oct. 5, hosting its first-ever open practice in Ciudad Juárez on the campus of the Universidad Autónoma de Ciudad Juárez (UACJ). The event marked a significant milestone for the Miners, who brought its passion for basketball across the border to engage with its Hispanic fan base.
“We are so excited to take our team to Juárez and capture the attention of a fan base that hasn’t always had access to Miner Basketball,” UTEP men’s basketball Head Coach Joe Golding said. The Miners fully embraced the opportunity, creating a memorable experience for both the players and fans.
