The UTEP women's basketball team has won a lot more than it's lost in a past decade that represents their Golden Age, but unquestionably they've shed a number of traditional rivals in the Conference USA realignments.
Southern Miss is the biggest exception and a team that's played a large role in the Miners' recent history visits the Don Haskins Center Thursday, the first of two regular-season meetings between the old-guard C-USA powers. The "Pack the Don" game features free admission.
"I feel like it is" a rivalry, said guard Cameasha Turner, who is expected to play after missing the last victory with concussion-like symptoms.
