The UTEP Miners (5-4) got a big victory against The University of New Mexico (5-5,) on Dec.12 at The Pit in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The Miners came out of this game with a 77-69 victory thanks to a balanced offense and stifling defense.
“I’m just extremely proud of that group,” UTEP head coach Joe Golding said. “We’ve had a ton of adversity all year, maybe more so tonight than we’ve had yet. We had to come up with a new game plan in two days, and they came out and just showed incredible toughness. They weren’t scared or afraid of the moment.
