Who got tired of getting beat at home? The Miners have never had great home schedules.

Arrived at the Don. UTEP claimed 4900 for the game last night too. Not even half that if they’re lucky.

That’s probably based on ticket sales

Damn, this is like the third time this week I agree Kane, ( is hell freezing over)?
UTEP and The Sun Bowl association need to bring back quality teams to the Don.
I am not interested in going to watch these small colleges with losing records.
We have no pride? Isn’t Golding embarrassed, about the scheduling? What about you Senter?
If we ever want to get back to relevance, they all need to step up their game.

I need a little clarification on the "Just got here" statement. Did you mean you just logged on to the YouTube channel, or that you just arrived at the Don? If the latter, c'mon Kane, you have a reputation to uphold! 😉

That doesn’t mean it’s big win or deserves a Deaver documentary on it.

If UTEP wins, there will be certain fans acting like beating a 6-6 team at home is special.

This tournament is decent, but only if you pay attention to college basketball. Yale and Akron are two good programs at the moment. Jackson St is just having a horrible year. Most fans aren’t going to get excited about Yale or Akron, but Arizona St and Texas Tech aren’t coming here most years. It’s time for everyone to realize that the Yales and Akrons of the world are the best the SBA can get now. Expecting better, is just foolish.

The rest of the home schedule is poor as well. 3 non-D1s, Seattle, and Tarleton St. Tarleton wasn’t really UTEP’s choice either. Probably a better opponent because of BG than other possible WAC opponents, besides Grand Canyon.

Going about a decade without a formidable team plus this schedule, aren’t great for ticket sales.

Opponents aren’t good or interesting. Miners’ record is inflated with wins over trash.

We were outrebounded 40 - 33.

I get that the back ups were in for the last 5 minutes or so. However unless this team gets back to what they’ve showed against Louisville Yale will win by double digits! This team is better I believe or hope than the last two games.

The starters and often used reserves were all on the bench during Jackson State's comeback

We're we watching the same game? We almost blew a 20+ point lead against a winless team at home. How in the hell is that an outstanding win? If we play like that against Yale we lose.

Well we didn’t collapse and blow it. Similar to the previous game we held and won. How many years recently has that gone the opposite direction ? This team has grit

I guess the best you can say is that he was trying to rest the starters for the last 5 minutes?

I cut them some slack for the Tarleton game. You're bound to have 1 of those kind of games. This 2 games in a row. We up 20 and even at that point I don't think we played that well.

It might be that this is just going to be the type of team we have. For some reason, I can see them going to Liberty and winning by 15 then turning around and losing by 20 at FIU.

MinerManiac said:

Just recently this was a 22 point game, now down to 10. Pathetic

The backups might have been put in too early. For around 4 minutes it was Horton, Jones, Hebb, Wickware and Thomas. That's when the lead got cut in half.
