The 1990 Western Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament Championship game was held March 10 at the Special Events Center in El Paso. UTEP beat Hawaii 75-58, to clinch their fourth overall, and second consecutive, WAC men's tournament championship. UTEP was the 4th seed and beat the 3 seed Hawaii. The number 1 seed Colorado State and the number 2 BYU both lost in the Quarterfinals.
The Mark McCall slam towards the end of the game was featured as the ESPN play of the day. UTEP advanced to the NCAA Basketball Tournament as a No. 11 seed in the Southeast losing to Minnesota (6 seed) 64-61.
Norm Ellenberger coached the team in Don Haskins stead taking the team to the NCAA tournament. I believe it may have been the last time Ellenberger coached a team to the NCAA dance.
