Head coach Tim Floyd and the Miners have not yet won a game on the road this season.
The Miners’ back-and-forth season continued on Saturday, Jan. 23, when they lost at home to Florida International University, 79-69. UTEP hopes to put that loss behind them as they take on Southern Miss on the road.
The Miners (11-9, 3-4 C-USA) had a chance to take over fourth place in Conference USA when they took on FIU at home.The Miners’ loss proved to be detrimental not only because it places the team under .500 yet again, but also because the Miners seemed to be reliable at home.
