In that case I nominate Jabari Rice.

You have no voice but we know no UTRGV player will ever win the WAC POY for basketball. Also, NMSU is the KING of college basketball along the Rio Bravo River aka Rio Grande River

El Rey del Rio Bravo? There's the small issue of another institution about 45 miles downstream from you. You know, the one with an actual national title in their record.

PS Down here we sometimes call it the Rio Grande. Sometimes we call it the Rio Bravo. Sometimes we call it the River. But never Rio Bravo River. Well, maybe it's because I only know English and some Spanish. I don't speak New Mexican.

When UTEP is good the fans will come out and it can be a great atmosphere at the Don Haskins Center. Problem is that UTEP has been mediocre at best for a while now. But their fans are hoping Golding gets them back into the discussion. And FWIW I don’t know anyone that calls it Rio Bravo either.
