Over the Weekend

My Miners won a game.

EL PASO, TEXAS - The UTEP men's basketball team ended the Harlem Globetrotters' 288-game winning streak with an 89-88 victory on Saturday at the Don Haskins Center.

The Globetrotters finished 7-1 on their eight-game 2003 college tour. Earlier in the tour they defeated Michigan State (97-83), Massachusetts (77-68) and defending national champion Syracuse (83-70).

Are they that good? It's almost too much for a fan to hope for. They've been dismal of late, with consecutive 20-loss seasons, but there's a new coach and an impressive recruiting class...
