New Mexico State124 wins
UTEP107 wins

If you're headed to the Don Haskins Center tonight, you'll see a rivalry with a lot of new faces. UTEP has no returning players from last season, and New Mexico State has just two, including guard Gabe Pickens. No Miner has played in this game before, though guard Reese Miller says the team got a preview at a September volleyball match in Las Cruces.

Last February in Las Cruces, there was some shoving after the final whistle. Coach Jason Hooten says it got “completely blown out of proportion” and that he and UTEP coach Joe Golding have talked since.

  • Tip-off: 7 p.m. tonight, GECU Arena at the Don Haskins Center
  • Meetings: 232nd game in the series, first of two this season
  • UTEP so far: lost 84-76 to Northern Kentucky, beat Incarnate Word 79-60
  • NMSU so far: beat Western New Mexico, lost to Gonzaga by 41

UTEP's Cam McDaniels broke out in the home opener, and Golding says the word around the program right now is “consistency.” On the other bench, New Mexico State lost Gabe Warren for the season in its opener, and Hooten calls him difficult to replace.

Canutillo's Scott Brooks will retire after this season with a playoff game Friday

Scott Brooks is retiring when Canutillo's season ends, and he's leaving on a high. The 60-year-old reached his 200th career win in October, joining his late father, Don Brooks, in the 200-win club.

In 2014, the Eagles reached the Final Four of the UIL Class 5A Division II playoffs, something no other El Paso team has done. Brooks says his father's advice was to be patient, treat kids right and give coaches time with their families.

“Remember it's for the kids. We all have egos, but the kids are the ones that matter in this.”
