The Harlem Globetrotters Game

[Proud El Pasoan]

There are a lot of past UTEP men’s basketball games that are on YouTube in their entirety such as the 1992 NCAA Tournament upset game of Kansas. Some past Miner home games have been re-aired in their entirety on local tv too. But the one game which is a “Lost Treasure” would be the 2003 exhibition upset game of the Harlem Globetrotters. Because the game was an exhibition game I’m not sure if the game was ever recorded in its entirety, but if it was it would be nice if it be uploaded to YouTube and re-aired on local tv with Jon Teicher doing commentary. The NCAA now bans collegiate teams from playing the Harlem Globetrotters in exhibition games. The game is considered one of the best games ever played in the Don Haskins Center and the best exhibition game the Miners ever played.

So will this “Lost Treasure” be found?

That would be amazing.  I had to listen to it on the internet broadcast and I was so stoked about that team.

Just one side note; Teicher did not broadcast that Globetrotter game because he was broadcasting the UTEP at Boise State football game which took place on the same day.  I believe that Kappy did the radio play-by-play for that Globetrotter game in place of Teicher.

I feel like I remember KVIA not having highlights the day after, as they just announced the score.
