 C-USA TOURNEY, HERE WE COME
UTEP is one of the hottest basketball teams in the nation, having reeled off 14 consecutive victories; but the Miners still need three straight wins this week to guarantee themselves a ticket to the NCAA’s big dance.
The No. 21 Miners (24-5), who earned an opening-round bye at the Conference USA Basketball Tournament in Tulsa, will take on the winner of Wednesday’s SMU (14-16) vs. Central Florida (14-16) first-round game on Thursday at 8 p.m.
“We’ve prepared all year long for this situation, and now it’s time to go take advantage of this opportunity,” UTEP coach Tony Barbee said.

The book is printed by West End Press, a publisher out of Albuquerque.
“I was lucky just to get a book, considering how flooded the business of publishing is now with new authors like me,” Pimentel Chacon says.

|  Time for Green Beer and Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes
Ben Fyffe had already been contemplating cleaning out the garage when he received a Facebook invitation to a “Beer and Cupcakes” event at Hope and Anchor a few months ago.
He thought it was an unlikely pairing but a good enough excuse to get rid of some clutter. And who doesn’t like cupcakes, right? Well, much to Fyffe’s surprise the cupcake that he would later behold in exchange for two dusty household items, was one of the best he had ever had.
