UTEP basketball received a commitment from Chipola College transfer guard Carlos Lemus over the weekend to round out the 2022-23 season's roster.

UTEP standout guard Souley Boum, who is top-10 all-time in career scoring for the Miners, announced today that he will be entering the NBA Draft while maintaining his college eligibility and entering the NCAA Transfer Portal.

After only one season at UTEP, assistant coach Butch Pierre is heading to Wichita State to join Isaac Brown's staff, first reported by Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

In a swift, resounding fashion, the Miners built a strong lead and never looked back en route to their round one win in the second round of the Conference USA Tournament, beating Old Dominion, 74-64.

On Monday, the league announced Souley Boum (2nd Team) and Jamal Bieniemy (3rd Team) were named to the All C-USA list. On the women's basketball side, Katia Gallegos (2nd Team) and Destiny Thurman (honorable mention) were recognized by league today with an all-conference honor.

It's another edition of David versus Goliath, as the Miners men's basketball team will have a chance to face No. 8 Kansas on Tuesday at T-Mobile Center (Kansas City, Mo.).

In a back-and-forth contest that featured 10 lead changes and seven dies, NM State guard Sir'Jabari Rice nailed a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1.6 seconds left to lift the Aggies over UTEP, 72-69, on Friday night.
