Miners basketball stages historic comeback versus Roadrunners

The UTEP men’s basketball team came back from a 24-point margin against the University of Texas at San Antonio Wednesday night to win in overtime 80-77. Junior Bryson Williams took the team on his back as he scored a career-high 34 points with 20 of those coming in the second half.

“The thing we kept trying to echo to our guys was work the game possession by possession and not rely on home runs, “Head Coach Rodney Terry said. “Easily the best comeback as a head coach I have been involved with.”

During the first eight minutes of the first half, the Miners were engaged in a tough back and forth with the Roadrunners trailing by only one point.
