UTEP Basketball: 2017-18 Season Preview

UTEP men’s hoops opens the 2017-18 season this Friday against Louisiana College.

With a key core of returners and six newcomers, UTEP appears to be a team to keep an eye on in the C-USA race, but can this program finally turn a championship corner under Tim Floyd?

The guards

UTEP’s main overall strength will be at the guard spot, particularly the two-guard spot.

Omega Harris returns as one of the conferences most consistent and explosive scorers, along with former McDonalds All-American and grad transfer Keith Frazier.
