UTEP is losing out on a lot of good local players. Guys that are playing well for other teams. The programs need to get to the point where they can capture more of those high level recruits.
We’ve already beat the horse to death but I can understand why the city’s best kids want to leave El Paso and play for a bigger program who isn’t a perennial loser. If UTEP can win and raise their profile then it probably won’t be an issue. Personally UTEP needs to be selective with their local recruiting, just because we’ve seen how disastrous a team full of local kids can be.

UTEP vs La Tech.

I didn’t they were good though either. LaTech didn’t even schedule 1 game vs a P5 team. That’s why the records are misleading. Wins over a bunch of crappy teams. Hard to say who is good or not.
Can't argue with that. Only thing I can say is UTEP needs very valuable minutes from Big Ham and Kalu. These two can not afford to disappear from here on out. We all have been waiting for Kalu to rise up at this time, he needs to get it done.

Dr K. from my poli sci years (he was a young polish freedom fighter against the Nazi's) said "life is not black and white but you got to make a stand on stuff in life", so....

UTEP vs La Tech.

If I recall correctly we did a pretty good job with Batcho last year (maybe it's because he doesn't venture much out of the paint?). He is averaging about 20/7/3. They are shooting well from 3 and Newman is a good playmaker averaging 10 points with 10 assists.

UTEP will need to shoot well and avoid big droughts to win this one. I think we can match up with their guards and throw enough guys at Batcho to win. Frazier needs to have another big game as well.

Batcho is who I’m afraid of, if we can get him in foul trouble or annoy him with guard play I think we have a chance. I think we split with La Tech this year
