Full recap of UTEP/Wisconsin and a look ahead to C-USA play
The Miners started out the season with a good fight against Oklahoma, but the offense failed to capitalize on several chances and didn’t wake up the week later against Ole Miss. Everything clicked against New Mexico State, and now there’s a chance to come up with a splashy win over a wounded giant. Wisconsin is ripe for the picking.
Here's a mixtape of UTEP Basketball commit Anthony January, a 6'7 small forward out of Southern California. Check it out.
Multiple sources are reporting that star F Arsalan Kazemi has requested a transfer from Rice University. Here's a quick write-up from midmajormadness.com talking about his decision to transfer.
