The Miners (9-8, 2-4 C-USA) make their final visit to Halton as a conference foe for an MLK Day afternoon tilt. Niners lead the series 7-6, including a 66-53 victory in the most recent meeting just over a year ago in CLT.
(BTW, UTEP lost a heartbreaker today to Rice 83-82.)
I have us losing a low scoring game. They were close to Houston and the score never saw a 50.
Correct, it was Kent State that was close to Houston, but Utep lost to Kent State with a similar score. I am going with probability here and keep Sanchez in the Loser column
In something of a “what if” for UTEP, the transfer of all-C-USA player Souley Boum to Xavier has been quite a boon for the #12 Musketeers (15-3, 7-0 Big East). He’s the leading scorer (17.7 ppg) for the rejuvenated X-Men and getting mentioned as a frontrunner for league POY.
