The UTEP men's basketball team plays its final home game in two weeks, its final home game before opening Conference USA, when it takes on Northern New Mexico College in a Saturday afternoon game in the Don Haskins Center.
The 2 p.m. tip will be streamed on CUSAtv and carried on 600 ESPN El Paso. Tickets range from $9.15 to $45.
Who is Northern New Mexico College?
Good question.
The Espanola, N.M. school has been extraordinarily busy, if not overly productive. The Eagles, who are an NAIA independent competing under the aegis of the Continental Athletic Conference, are 3-10.
