Since the 2013 season, there's been a thorn in UTEP's C-USA side.
UTEP has only beaten the Dunkin' Dawgs once since the newly formed C-USA was introduced, that lone win came back in 2013.
LA Tech had no trouble scoring on Thursday as they shot 60.4 percent from the field to easily pick apart UTSA 87-74.
A matchup advantage UTEP could have is the possible absence of 6'8 forward Erik McCree who missed the UTSA game after sustaining an injury last weekend against UAB. His status for Saturday is questionable.
The Dawgs didn't miss a beat minus the talented McCree as an impressive scoring balance led by Alex Hamilton carried them to their fourth straight 20-win season on Thursday.
