The UTEP men's basketball team will take the court Thursday against Southern Miss with a far worse record than it had in the Don Haskins Center when it won the Sun Bowl tournament in mid-December.
Coach Rodney Terry will be on the bench, Nigel Hawkins and Jordan Lathon will take turns running the point and 15 or 16 players will be wearing uniforms depending on the status of guard Anthony Tarke.
