What to Know

The Texas-El Paso Miners won both of their matches against the Charlotte 49ers last season (70-47 and 77-62) and are aiming for the same result Thursday. The Miners and Charlotte will face off in a Conference USA battle at 7 p.m. ET at Dale F. Halton Arena. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous games.

Texas-El Paso simply couldn't be stopped on Saturday, as they easily beat the Southern Miss Golden Eagles at home 87-54.

Meanwhile, the stars were brightly shining for the 49ers in a 98-82 win over the Western Carolina Catamounts three weeks ago.

Texas-El Paso is expected to lose this next one by 3.5. Those who got lucky with them against the spread on Saturday might want to hold off on placing bets this time since the squad has yet to string together back-to-back wins against the spread.

Texas-El Paso is now 8-7 while Charlotte sits at 7-5. The Miners are 3-4 after wins this year, Charlotte 3-3.
