UTEP's Paul Thomas is the only Miners senior Bret Bloomquist, Wochit
At some point soon, perhaps next year, the UTEP men's basketball team could be playing for a Conference USA title, winning games in big numbers and hang banners.
Senior forward Paul Thomas wont be here. When he takes the Don Haskins Center floor Wednesday night against Middle Tennessee it will be his last time playing in El Paso, and it's for a team that hasn't won much. Though, he will be there in spirit.
The defining trait of coach Rodney Terry's first team is its youth and Thomas is the exception to that.
