The Green Wave will try to put last week's game behind it and recover some momentum tomorrow as the team travels to El Paso, Texas to face the UTEP Miners, a perennial conference rival.

While the defection of foreign nationals and productive roll players like Viktor Khryapa, Carlos Delfino and Juan Carlos Navarro turned the heads of those close to the game, it was the American-born-and-bred Josh Childress' decision to abandon the up-and-coming Atlanta Hawks for the Greek club Olympiakos that sent hoop fans everywhere into panic mode.
