UTEP is in that lean period, the point of the season when there are far more practices than games.
And basketball players love playing games.
The Miners will get to do just that Saturday night when a very good Washington State team visits the Don Haskins Center for a 7 p.m. tipoff. The game will be broadcast on Facebook on Stadium College Basketball's page.
