UTEP never trailed, and a career game from Omega Harris locked up a top four seed, and first round bye in the C-USA Tournament as UTEP controlled Charlotte in a 74-67 win Saturday afternoon.
Harris posted career highs in points with 27, rebounds with 10, steals with five, and the junior spark plug also went 10-for-12 from the free throw line. The double-double was also the first in his UTEP career.
Four Miners scored in double figures, as UTEP shot 43.9 percent from the field, scoring 32 points in the paint to keep Charlotte at an arms length distance the entire afternoon.
