I must admit I never thought UTEP’s Men’s Basketball would be this irrelevant. We are heading back to a time similar to before the Don Haskins era. This plus the new environment in college sports has really made me somewhat apathetic towards the men’s UTEP FB and BB programs. Something needs to change to bring back my excitement. Not sure what that is; however, I know the status quo is not working.
