The UTEP men’s basketball team (8-8,1-3 Conference USA) lost another conference game to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte (8-5,1-0 C-USA) Jan. 14 at the Dale F. Halton Arena. The Miners struggled to keep a consistent offense throughout the game, but they were able to play good defense in this 63-55 loss.
“We have to be gritty, have some fight to us,” said UTEP Head Coach Joe Golding. “We took some charges tonight, that’s a positive. We were in the game, and in the second half got it back down to seven or eight. We got some good looks.
