Poll: What Should Senter do About Golding?

Got no idea what that has to do with Maniac’s post. Fili and 2step just need to create a thread for all their weird social media posts.
It was a joke to what Maniac posted.

"Finishing with another losing record record against Div 1 competition again should earn him a ticket on the first bus out of El Paso"

The kid tries but comes up way, way short on the dunk. Kind of like what Golding basketball is going through right now.

I was only able to listen on the radio (didn't find a live stream), so that makes it tougher to evaluate how they did. A couple of things are pretty clear though. First, playing small ball against a longer team like UNM is going to be a problem rebounding (no shock there). UTEP's run in the first half to get back in the game was done mostly by and against reserve players by forcing a bunch of turnovers. UTEP's late run (when they had gone down 14 with about 4 minutes to play), was due in large part to Frazier catching fire offensively. For UNM, Dent and Washington were solid. Dent is really good and is probably one of the best guards UTEP will play this year. I do think UTEP's depth will be better this year. Camper needs to be more impactful. He's a guy who can do alot on both sides of the ball, and from listening in, you hardly knew he was on the court.
Dent made a big dent in any UTEP D that got them back in.

Haskins is having a fit with St Peter right now. Poor St Peter.

What we lack in rebounding prowess, we make up for in creating turnovers. And the points probably come easier from turnovers due to some of them coming in transition. A possession is a possession is a possession.

Agree lil_train, Camper has to make himself more of an impact. Like you said, one hardly knew he played last night.

I know it was just one game, but I have this horrible feeling that this team isn’t gonna be any better from deep than any of CJG’s other teams. If adjustments were made by limiting the attempts from 3, and the focus was more on a mid range and inside game, maybe there’d be some hope.

Barnes did ok, but it appears UNM size was too much.

My expectations for Bynum coming in were to high, he shot poorly.

This was no slouch team UTEP played but Dent dicing up all our guards like a back alley switch blade fight was concerning given Golding's aggressive approach to cutting off passing lanes.

I'm not wanting to go down the rabbit hole from a previous thread but UNM is primed and ready to go going into regular season tip off with two exhibition matchups against Santa Clara and UTEP and regular season start against Nichols. UTEP chose to do the cross border game and UNM and tip off against Sul Ross. Nichols is two steps up from Sul Ross.
