The UTEP women‘s basketball team is coming off a surprisingly successful 2019 season with the Miners finishing in seventh place in Conference USA with a 16-15 overall record. Unfortunately, the season ended after advancing to the quarterfinals of the tournament due to the COVID-10 outbreak.
Winning its first five games and nine out of its first 10 games, the Miners were able to work some highly touted first–year players into the mix with very experienced leadership that exceeded expectations. When the season began, UTEP was ranked near the conference’s bottom in most prognostications following a 9-22 injury decimated season.
