Agree. Frazier and Bynum are the only guys that gets a whiff (with McCulley redshirting) compared to that starting 5 with Polk 6th man, but still not starting Fraziet over Williams IMO.

lol, no. Show me the post of me saying that. UTEP will never win the natty again, ridiculous to believe it’s remotely possible.

That 2009-10 season was Barbee's 4th season, and this is Golding's 4th as well. NMSU went 22-12 that year, including 11-5 in conference. I doubt that Utah Valley or SJSU will come close to that. From your list of players I might take Frazier over Williams, the rest of Barbee's players are head and shoulders above their counterparts on this year's team. Comparing Golding's 4th team to Barbee's 4th team is ridiculous.

Well they have 9 scholarship players available and will probably play 7 unless it’s a blowout and probably all 9 which are all probably as good or better than any of our 9.

I'm glad were going to the MWC, but its starting to feel like the WAC when NMSU finally joined. I really hope I am wrong AND that UTEP finally gets its head out of its a$$

There are very few teams out there that are “name brands” and also willing to join the MWC.

Once N. Illinois is secured in Foorball today. Look for a package to net Utep at least 3 million a year which will be 4X what we are making in CUSA. Also better games for fans

Didn't you state some time back that Golding could win the national championship and you would still want him gone?

Second, Golding has underperformed, no doubt about it; however, NMSU is a shell of what it once was.

I’m 50/50 about that concept. Then it was “accepted” that it could take 4 or 5 years to build a good team. That is just unacceptable today. Barbee had the benefit of a better CUSA, but that also meant he played “better” teams. UTEP received an at-large that year and didn’t really beat anyone.

Bronzeing does not have the “advantage” of being in pre-2013 CUSA. He has an advantage of turning over his roster every year though. The quality of UTEP player is worse, but so is the competition. Because of Tim Floyd, Terry, and himself, expecting a NIT/NCAA quality team is a distant memory.

I think it’s a little unfair to expect Barbee results for Bronzeing. UTEP basketball is a shell of what it once was.
