The Hoops Tip-off Luncheon is slated for Tuesday, Oct. 25 featuring men’s head coach Tim Floyd and women’s head coach Keitha Adams. They will take a look back at the 2015-16 campaign, discuss their highly-regarded recruiting classes and preview the new season.

The MAC’s mission is to annually raise funds to offset the departmental cost of scholarships and sport programs supporting UTEP student-athletes. Funds are raised by the Miner Athletic Club through annual membership, major and planned gifts, the donor portions of season ticket sales and special events.
