The Tigers enter this contest having won 29 straight conference games. They also own the nation's longest home winning streak at 43 games.

The Miners (13-6, 4-2) followed a pair of conference road losses with a pair of conference wins at home, including a 90-79 victory over Southern Mississippi on Wednesday.

Junior guard Stefon Jackson is averaging 24.0 points and 5.2 rebounds for UTEP, which is 3-5 away from home.
