Hear from newcomer Jordan Alexander. She is the newest junior power forward for UTEP. Bret Bloomquist/El Paso Times
The UTEP frontcourt is shorthanded at the moment, preparing for its Thanksgiving tournament opener against Arkansas.
The Miners are without full participation from the two biggest pieces of the big-woman puzzle, Tamara Seda (concussion) and Zuzanna Puc (foot).
That leaves an awful lot on the plate of the player who, in every good sense of the word, plays with a fierce disregard for her own body, Jordan Alexander.
At 5-foot-11, the junior transfer is undersized for a power forward, but as is quickly becoming apparent, one of UTEP's two eligible newcomers is oversized in the heart and brains department.
