Editor’s Note: This recap is not the most recent game for the UTEP Miners Men’s Basketball.
The UTEP Miners (13-14, C-USA 4-8) faced top-ranking LA Tech (19-8, C-USA 9-3), but fought hard through the game, ending the game down by only six points (59-65). Coming off of losses on the road against WKU (19-7, C-USA 8-4) and Middle Tennessee (11-16, C-USA 5-7), the Miners returned home to face top-tier teams this week.
The game began with a UTEP possession from a tip-off by junior forward Kevin Kalu.
