All the questions the UTEP men's basketball team face before every road trip, like the one that begins Saturday morning at 10 a.m. Mountain time at 9-4 Florida International, have never been more welcome.
Their losing streak in true road games now stands at 16 straight dating back to 2017-18, but talking about that meant they weren't talking about the chaotic start to the week that has led to a roster shuffle as Conference USA play begins.
On Saturday, Nigel Hawkins, the first guard off the bench, entered the transfer portal. On Sunday, starting point guard Jordan Lathon entered the transfer portal, and his starting spot will now go to Hawkins, who changed his mind on Sunday and decided to stay.
