As of January 1, 2018; 

The 2017–18 UTEP Miners basketball team represents the University of Texas at El Paso during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Miners, led by interim head coach Phil Johnson, play their home games at the Don Haskins Center as members of Conference USA.

Following a loss to Lamar on November 27, 2017 that saw the Miners drop to 1–5 on the season, head coach Tim Floyd announced that he was retiring effective immediately. The school had previously announced a new athletic director, Jim Senter, a week prior, but Floyd said that had nothing to do with his decision. Assistant Phil Johnson was named interim head coach of the Miners the next day.

The Miners finished the 2016–17 season 15–17, 12–6 in C-USA play to finish in a tie for third place. In the C-USA Tournament, they defeated Rice in the quarterfinals before losing to top-seeded Middle Tennessee in the semifinals.
