Rodney Terry’s UTEP squad comes to town having gone throughout an extremely tough season. The Miners are 0-9 on the road this season.

Evan Gilyard leads a young UTEP squad averaging 15.4 points per game.

Seven of UTEP’s top nine players in the rotation are either freshmen or sophomores. Louisiana Tech must take advantage of that youth and get back into the win column Thursday night.
