Texas interim head coach Rodney Terry, who spent three seasons as the Miners' head coach, will face his former star guard at UTEP in Souley Boum and the Xavier Musketeers on Friday evening in the Sweet 16.
Tristen Newton announced that he will play next season at UConn. He was recruited by former UTEP star and current Huskies Associate Head Coach Kimani Young.
Joe Golding will need to bring in difference makers in order to build on this season for UTEP. Jawaun and Tristen Newton have both flourished away from El Paso.
