The Dig: Happy Memorial Edition. This time: NMSU's Jahmar Young tased by Lac Cruces Police and is suing them now; Derrick Caracter has lined up several NBA workouts, Rice Blasts Houston 24-3 in a baseball game then falls in the C-USA Championship & More.

The Dig is your best UTEP and C-USA round-up. This time: More Kelsey Moore coverage, Derrick Caracter makes a cameo, the Houston Cougars want a new stadium, and Rice baseball is peaking at the right time. In The Dig.
