You seem to have it all — size, talent, athleticism and all those assets that add up to that beautiful gift, that dreaded curse that is potential.

And then the injuries come ... toppling one upon the other like a train of dominoes.

Matt Willms is playing basketball again and that, for him and for UTEP, is big. He has played in all five games on a limited basis, averaging 13.6 points and 5.4 rebounds a game. That, quite clearly, is the tip of the iceberg. He will be there Saturday night when the Miners host Northwestern State in the Don Haskins Center.
