The UTEP men finish a long road trip with a game at Western Kentucky on Saturday in a battle for eighth place in Conference USA.
The 2 p.m. Mountain time tip will be streamed on Stadium and broadcast on 600 ESPN El Paso.
Who is Western Kentucky?
With a 12-11 overall record and 4-8 mark in C-USA the Hilltoppers record is similar to UTEP's (11-11, 4-7) and like the Miners many of their league losses have been competitive. Before beating UTSA 81-74 Thursday they had lost five consecutive games.
WKU leads C-USA in 3-point percentage (UTEP is a distant last), but the Miners are second in defending 3s.
