The UTEP Miners held on for a close road win against the Middle Tennessee State (MTSU) Blue Raiders with another high scoring effort from senior Darryl Edwards. Undefeated in the bonus round, the Miners won its third straight game-clinching a Conference USA (C-USA) Tournament berth.
Edwards had his seventh straight double-digit scoring game in a row with 26 points. Over that stretch, Edwards has averaged 21 points a game, is shooting 51% from the field and is hitting 48% of his shots from the 3-point line.
“Daryl’s playing with a lot of urgency,” second-year UTEP Head Coach Rodney Terry said.
