Men’s basketball aims for better start in 2017-18
Gaby Velasquez The Miners face Louisiana College in their 2017-18 season opener this Friday night.The UTEP men’s basketball team will look to put last season’s start in the rearview mirror and start the upcoming season stronger with their first shot coming against Louisiana College this Friday night at the Don Haskins Center.
UTEP opened up the 2016-17 campaign with a 2-13 record before finishing up with a 13-4 tear that saw the team come up one game short of the Conference-USA tournament championship game.
Although the team was able to turn it around, the poor start hurt any chances of the Miners making it to a postseason tournament.
