Senior transfer guard looks up after driving to basket to see if his shot falls versus Southern Miss Sunday, March 1.
Starting its first winning streak of the new year, the UTEP Miners lead from start to finish on ‘Senior Night” with an easy 75-56 victory over the Southern Mississippi (Southern Miss) Golden Eagles Sunday afternoon.
The last time the Miners had won back to back games was in mid-December playing their home tournament. This game’s 19 point win was the team’s largest margin of victory for the season versus a Division I opponent.
Right out of the starting gate, the Miners dominated scoring the first 10 points of the game.
