Can someone help an old man out? I'm having difficulty knowing where I can watch the game. Any direct link, or website, to find it would be greatly appreciated.

Opponents aren’t good or interesting. Miners’ record is inflated with wins over trash.
Damn, this is like the third time this week I agree Kane, ( is hell freezing over)?
UTEP and The Sun Bowl association need to bring back quality teams to the Don.
I am not interested in going to watch these small colleges with losing records.
We have no pride? Isn’t Golding embarrassed, about the scheduling? What about you Senter?
If we ever want to get back to relevance, they all need to step up their game.

This tournament is decent, but only if you pay attention to college basketball. Yale and Akron are two good programs at the moment. Jackson St is just having a horrible year. Most fans aren’t going to get excited about Yale or Akron, but Arizona St and Texas Tech aren’t coming here most years. It’s time for everyone to realize that the Yales and Akrons of the world are the best the SBA can get now. Expecting better, is just foolish.
The rest of the home schedule is poor as well. 3 non-D1s, Seattle, and Tarleton St. Tarleton wasn’t really UTEP’s choice either. Probably a better opponent because of BG than other possible WAC opponents, besides Grand Canyon.
Going about a decade without a formidable team plus this schedule, aren’t great for ticket sales.
I need a little clarification on the "Just got here" statement. Did you mean you just logged on to the YouTube channel, or that you just arrived at the Don? If the latter, c'mon Kane, you have a reputation to uphold! 😉
Arrived at the Don. UTEP claimed 4900 for the game last night too. Not even half that if they’re lucky.
Wins are wins. They got tired of getting beat at home. We need wins. It’s a wise strategy
Who got tired of getting beat at home? The Miners have never had great home schedules.
They’ve been doing that forever. Hasn’t changed a much, except less fans at the games.
It's Christmas. People are shopping. People are traveling. Many people don't have money. Many people don't like watching sports. The Miners are an average team, etc.
I've got a different strategy. Recruit better and coach better, then bring in teams that fans want to see. In my four years at UTEP (85-89) we certainly had some cupcakes on our home schedule, but we also hosted Georgetown, Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon State, Texas, Auburn, Boston College, UAB, and Maryland. Of these, we only lost to Oregon State. Fans get much more excited watching this type of team than they do playing Northern New Mexico after having already played Sul Ross and UTPB.

There has to be some middle ground. Also not sure why UAB is mixed in there with the others. UTEP and UAB could probably play each other here and there, but I don’t think fans will turn out for them.
NMSU will return to the non-conference schedule in 2026. That should help the schedule a little bit. The power teams aren’t coming here unless they have a special reason to.
Alabama played at North Dakota the other day because one of their players asked them to. Cases like that and relationships with other coaches are probably the only way name teams are coming here, and it won’t be often.
I would like to see UTEP schedule Pac-12, MAC, and MVC teams. Along with LaTech, UAB, Rice, UTSA, UT-Arlington, and some Big West, WAC, WCC schools going forward.
Agree with this. With how the scheduling rules are now, I think the Sun Bowl has actually done a really good job with the tournament. The days of getting the big name teams have been over for 20 years, but they've been putting together a good mid major field. And yes you're not going to realize that if you're a casual college basketball fan.
One thing I do give Golding credit for is scheduling good mid majors on the road - UCSB, Loyola, Pacific, etc. That's been missing for a while. Again, not sexy but something I've been wanting to see.
So are we supposed to satisfied with the less than mediocre basketball that we've endured for the past 10 or so years?
Why don't we play more big name teams on the road? It would help with competion, readiness, money, exposure and recruiting. If we are lucky we get a few 2 for 1s or home and home series for the home crowd.
I rather UTEP start scheduling more road games against quality teams over home games against crappy teams. If it means having less home games so be it. Need to level up and start elevating the program as we migrate towards the MWC. Also, get rid of the Sun Bowl tourney once and for all. It’ll never attract the marquee teams like the 80s again.
Fake news Sleepy Joe, that’s why Trump wonIt’ll stream on the YouTube Sun Bowl Association channel.

KFOX is in charge of the streaming this year https://youtube.com/@kfox14news?si=-p5bapFV07nK9SAk
Clicking on his link will take you to their stream of last night’s game. So both of them are streaming the tournament.
Unless they’re getting rid of the tournament to play P5 road games, I don’t see how it’s a bad thing. Just have to forget about the Haskins days. It’s been 13 years since a P5 came here (Nebraska) and it’s not like the place was sold out for them either.
How bad would the schedule be without the tournament?
I haven’t been to a Sun Bowl tournament in a while. Is it still considered ‘not a UTEP event?’
I remember the tickets were always separate, the announcer was different, the game always was a little bit different, because it was ran by the Sun Bowl Association and not the University.
Next to the person that screams
It’s still a separate entity run by the Sun Bowl Association.
