Terry is in the hot seat in Texas. He is pretty much done, but don't feel sorry for him he has a $20 million buy out. 🤯🤯🤯🤯 Why would they give home that??

Ok that’s great it’s easy to bag on someone when they are down but what are your solutions? Obviously you want sender and Golding gone but who are your replacements ? And we have a terrible fanbase how would you fix it ?

NMSU played their home games at Eastwood HS a few years ago. Then they ended their season prematurely because of all kinds of mess. That is being down. UTEP is not that.

You have to spend money to make money. That includes firing poor performing coaches. That is UTEPs problem. Overpaying for coaches like Terry and Bronzeing, then giving them contract extensions or not firing them is their only problem. You could have hired an assistant somewhere and achieved the same results or better, for a lot less money.

When Bronzeing is the 2nd highest paid coach in the league, that is not something a “poor” school does. A “poor” school wouldn’t be able to afford to do that.

“Terrible fan base” but consistently leads CUSA in attendance. The solution is hiring the right people. That’s it.

UTEP has 1 basketball and 0 football conference championships in the 20 years they’ve been in CUSA. You may want to go higher, but UTEP can’t even compete in CUSA.

UTEP makes bad hire after bad hire. That is their problem, not anything else.

That's a great idea, because I have so much to say about the above. UH isn't slowed down, they purposefully slow the game down offensively. I won't say it has nothing to do with opponent, but it has very little to do with what the opponent does. And defensively, there isn't another team that is better. I'm not saying there isn't a better all around team, but not defensively. I'm telling you, SDSU was an anomaly. I've watched 25 plus UH games this year, and it wasn't that SDSU neutralized them, UH just had a very poor shooting night. 10 percentage points below their average. SDSU had some to do with that, but UH was just off. But I digress. Let's start a non-UTEP bb thread so people can choose whether or not to read non-UTEP related bb.

I appreciate the dialogue with you cuz it's obvious you do know your sh!t.

Yes an ncaa post would be nice …. And don’t be mad at me because I told you Houston was overrated and the tournament proved just that….. same will happen this year … you will have to get a very favorable draw to get to the elite 8 ….. if you bring the team that played in Waco … that’s the only time I’ve seen you all play….

Oh I am sorry my hopes for Utep is not being measured against other cusa schools I want to go higher but I can tell you don’t seem to understand that….. when you stop with your bullshit I will stop…. You can’t argue that a team that has a ton of support has way more say than a team that can’t get 5000 in …. You don’t have good support you don’t have any accountability which is what we have now …. Not to mention we don’t have the ability to monetarily keep anyone should we get lucky with a good coach …

Yes, start it up as an OT NCAA tournament thread, and we can break it down.

The one thing that SDSU does every single year is that they schedule a very tough OOC. This year theirs is 8th strongest. Houston for example is 99th. They will also compete again with Houston in the Players Era Festival next year. Have you seen the teams in next year's field? Take a look: It is a mini NCAA tournament.

They are not an already struggling program. UTEP almost sold out the Sun Bowl for 1 football game and they sold out 1 basketball game. None of the other CUSA schools can get close to those numbers. Yet, they don’t struggle, they’re not considered “poor” by some fans.

Have you ever looked at the attendance at a FIU basketball or football game? Have you looked at attendance at other mid major programs around the country? UTEP gets more fans to their games than most mid majors. Stop with this bullshit.

It is not SDSU that you should be worried about in the tournament. It is how they play defensively as there are many teams that play just like they do, but are much better defensively. This is the achilles heel of Houston.

SDSU offensively does not have it to make a deep run in the tournament, but if they can beat Houston with an anemic offense by just playing defensively Houston is in trouble with teams that put the offense with it. Duke, A&M, Florida, Auburn, Alabama, quite possibly Michigan State or Tennessee are starters that will give Houston trouble.

But the lack of OOC (97th), the fact that their possessions are very low per a 40 minute game (which tells you a good defensive team will slow them down) is telling. Losses to all 3 of their toughest OOC opponents (Alabama, Auburn, SDSU) which were the only Quad 1 teams they played OOC may show they are unprepared for the tournament this year.

Again, Houston does have the team to make a run, it is just my gut feeling, someone is going to slow them down and be able to put up points on them. This will have to be an elite team most likely in the Sweet 16 and possibly further.

Maybe we need to create an NCAA tournament thread where this is more relevant. I have broken down the SEC before in threads but as you have said, it may be more appropriate there.

Only thing I disagree with is how we support the team …. Pulling resources from an already struggling program is not the way to go… I think people would have more power if we had better support …. If it looks like no one cares then no reason to change

I had a lengthy response but I deleted it because I don’t think Miner fans want to hear about UH any more than they already have. With that said, I’d salivate if UH and SDSU somehow get paired up again.

We’d definitely have to find a way to chat about it before, during and after the game. lol.

Golding and Coaching Contract

NOW is the time to change coaches. 4 years with nothing to show, poor recruiting, big roster turnover coming and only a 1 year cushion until the move to the MWC.

If Senter can't see this then he's blinded by his own ineptitude and should be fired immediately along with Golding. There is absolutely zero accountability at UTEP. It's ridiculous.

UTEP vs Liberty: CUSA Tournament

picks up said:
Just like the every year since 2010 (15 years!), we are not participating in the NCAA tournament. At this point we not a basketball school anymore and haven't been for a while. 11 classes of UTEP seniors have gone through 4 years of bad basketball. Our fan base is slowly dying out because we aren't creating new fans. We are a bottom feeder and were somehow lucky to get out of CUSA despite being bad at revenue sports athletics. Our coaches have been terrible and we have an even worse administration that allows these things to happen.

Thank you and good luck to the seniors that have been with us for the past couple of years. I don't think we will have a whole lot of continuity this year. This was supposed to be the year. Instead we started off the season with a 15-5 record then only won 3 games afterwards.

Golding will be back next year (according to the rumors on here) and have to rebuild. He's proven that he's not a great recruiter. He doesn't understand rotations. He's not great at coaching offense or defense, yet he is getting an extension. 2 players that started this season on the team were removed from the roster before the season concluded. This is why we have had 11 senior classes at UTEP not see us play in the tournament. We are in a vicious cycle of stupidity while our administration continues to cash checks and make bad decisions.

Much respect to all of you, my fellow UTEP fans that have stuck with this crap for so long. We deserve better. UTEP doesn't deserve us as fans.

He was playing for their junior team, not the senior team. If he were eligible, why wouldn’t he go to SDSU? Or USC/UCLA? He’d need a Mexican company to sponsor his NIL but that shouldn’t be a problem if he’s high enough profile

Remember Billy G got Alex Galindo and (Fili)berto Rivera. Floyd got Isaac Hamilton, even though he didn't show up. But Billy G was smart he hit up the Spanish players and it worked for him. Look at Walden what he is doing in recruiting. Golding and Senter don't have an excuse. Yes it won't be easy to get him but Utep should put it's name in the mix. Look at BYU they got the number 1 prospect. Come on I mean Utep went to go play a game in Mexico. What's a big company in Juarez or Mexico that Utep can partner up with and send this kid a offer???
