Bieniemy leads UTEP to three-game win streak with win at UTSA

The UTEP men's basketball team has the momentum it has been looking for all season.

The Miners started start Sunday at UTSA, turned back a Roadrunner rally and won 59-54 to complete a two-games-in-four-days sweep. They have their first three-game win streak since December.

UTEP improved to 11-8 overall and 4-3 in Conference USA while the Roadrunners fell to 7-13, 0-7.

Jamal Bieniemy took a star turn, finishing with 18 points, 11 rebounds and six assists, with seven of those points coming in a game-deciding run late in the second half.

"We were really good defensively, consistent for 40 minutes and special in the first half," coach Joe Golding said.
