Really? -8 and definitely better than Bradley? Sounds like you did some research so I respect your opinion, but I don't think that's completely accurate. No. 1 I don't think they are definitely better than Bradley so far early in the season at least. They may end up being better at the end of the season, who knows. I'm not sure why you think that. Wins vs UAB and Utah St. are way better than anything LMU has. They also have lost 3 already. To a good Yale team, a so so SFA team and a sub par Oakland team. They have lots of good transfers, but haven't gelled quite yet. They're not better than Bradley right now in any way based on what I see. With that said, I don't think it'll be easy. It's a true road game and this team can hit 3s and beat some ranked teams last year, but it's mostly a new team this year. -3.5 is about right for the home court advantage, but Utep wins!UTEP +3.5, total 144.5 at open.
I’d have LMU an 8 point favorite from a betting angle and the under did some research last night and they are def better than Bradley. Idk about their size from looking at numbers this is a mismatch for UTEP.

I look at adjust D1 advanced metrics rankings, situational spots and not eye test wins because they paint a great and consistent picture of matchup weakness/strength on paper. LMU is elite on offense where UTEP is weak on defense, mid range area and inside the paint and at the rim. LMU also defends the three very well and UTEP is shooting under 30 percent so far in their four real games and is playing its first true road game. LMU also gets to the FT line at a high percentage which is why they are top 90 in offensive efficiency I could see UTEP getting in foul trouble early and having trouble giving up things inside if UTEP’s elite ball pressure breaks down. UTEP is also 303rd in offensive efficiency against a top 200 efficient defense which simply shows what UTEP is against D-1 opponents they are sloppy in stretches and not a great shooting team in the half court setting and LMU gets back in transition D ranking 80th in defending against a turnover in the open court again a bad match up for nerdy numbers but we shall see.Really? -8 and definitely better than Bradley?

Nice breakdown I have to admit, but I still got Utep by a slim margin.I look at adjust D1 advanced metrics rankings, situational spots and not eye test wins because they paint a great and consistent picture of matchup weakness/strength on paper.

Plus Zid Powell looked pretty beat up this week and not efficient versus when he’s been fresh that is something I’ll be watching, fourth game in the week and an extended road trip is a tough spot for UTEP to find energy against a team that they have to be Uber focued for and have to find entry if they find themselves down early in this spot.
All this nerdy ass advanced stats can improve for UTEP but they are glaring weakness against what LMU has done well if you take off the orange goggles of a 3-0 start to the real season.
I thought we had some pieces that could score but the last several outings has me thinking I was dead ass wrong.Our half court offense is struggling bad
I had high hopes for him when he signed but now in Dos Anjos as a Miner, he his sadly pretty worthless.Who told Duece Anjos that he's a trey specialist?
Just like last year.We drank that early season (easy schedule) kool-aid… they don’t look good against the better teams.
Looks like they are all worthless at this point. Getting killed.I had high hopes for him when he signed but now in Dos Anjos as a Miner, he his sadly pretty worthless.
Maybe if the hoops team keeps getting run further out of the gym, he'll accelerate the firing of Dimel so we have something to feel good about today.This better not turn into a bloody Saturday….
I hate that argument — we should have high expectations— not look at places with low expectations and say look at themAnd we complain about the DON!
That's not Horton. Natty. That's Sebastion Cole, the walk on. 😉Bruh, just got home from day drinking and IDK how drunk I am, but Utep looks like Shi*+ LMU doesn't look good at all, we just look like complete crap! Hope the 2nd half changes and why is Horton playing? What'd I miss?
Better schedule some more d3 opponents.I guess UTEP isn't going to average 100 points per game after all.
Perhaps we should just drop down to D3.Better schedule some more d3 opponents.
