2020-21 UTEP Women's Basketball Preview

Preseason MVP: Katia Gallegos -- The hometown point guard carries herself like she’s the best player on the court and has assumed a leadership role going into her second year. She proved she can score, facilitate and defend at an all-conference level.

The Ceiling: Best case scenario, the Miners go toe-to-toe with some of the league’s best—Old Dominion and Rice— and steal a win or two against the conference powerhouses. If they can compete in the regular season against the league’s juggernauts and finish inside the top three of C-USA, they can be a threat for the conference title.
