FRISCO — UTEP's 86-78 season ending loss to Marshall on Wednesday in the first round of the Conference USA Tournament was a lot like the rest of their season.

There was a quick start, then the fall into a deep hole, enough of a rally to make matters interesting, but ultimately the pit was too deep and the Miners couldn't find a way out when it got close.

There was no March miracle for the UTEP men's basketball team, just a replay of January and February as they fell to 0-10 against the top nine teams in C-USA.
