Dominic Artis hit seven three pointers and recorded 21 points, as the Miners cruised over the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros 85-64 in the last game UTEP will play in 2015.
This was Artis’ career high for total points and three pointers. He is the seventh Miner to hit seven-or-more threes in a single game in UTEP history.
“[Dominic] is a good player,” Floyd said. “We tend to forget that they sat out last year. I was pleased with Dominic on defense, battling the perimeter. I think he took a step forward tonight.”
This was also the last non-conference game for the Miners (8-5), who have won their final game in the month of December each of the last seven years.
