Big game for UTEP. Not much expected of the Miners this season so playing this one close would be a boost since they are a 21 point underdogs. This is also the Longhorns 1st game in their new arena.

UTEP is a mystery team with 1 starter returning, 3 total holdovers and 10 new players. They could be much better than anticipated or even worse than expected. Maybe we will get some answers Monday night. Go Miners!

UTEP will see a familiar face as former NMSU Aggie Jabari Rice now plays for the Longhorns. Pretty sure Miner fans remember him.

Oh yes. We remember him.

UTEP is starting the season against 2 very talented teams. Texas on the road followed by NMSU in the Don. Not the usual creampuffs.

Lots of new faces for NMSU so I have no idea what to expect against you guys. But it’s the Battle of I-10 so we know it’ll be intense.

Also last time your coach played Texas he beat them right? I know different teams, different time but there’s always hope!

Halftime and UTEP down big, 34-20. Not Good.

Miners making it interesting. Down 8 at the under 8 timeout.

RICE down eight at half at Pepperdine. These are the games we need to win. Go OWLS!

( I, of course include WKU too-- we can't afford bad losses either)

Texas 72 UTEP 57

15 point loss as Texas made 13 more free throws.
