Miners Make Right Call By Scheduling Jayhawks Earlier this morning, we received word that the UTEP men's basketball team had added an extra game to their 2020-21 regular season schedule. The Miners signed a contract with Kansas to play next Thursday evening at Allen Fieldhouse. I love the move for the team and it is exactly what they should have done prior to the Conference USA Tournament, which starts the following week in Frisco, Texas. UTEP has been lucky this college basketball season, and only two C-USA games were canceled due to COVID. Last weekend, the team was supposed to play FAU, but the games in Boca Raton were canceled due to a positive test among the Miners. It also forced this weekend's home games against Charlotte to be moved back a day. However, head coach Rodney Terry is fortunate that his team will play 16 out of the 18 game league schedule, barring any unforeseen events in the next few days.
