GEM: Sun Bowl, UTEP (35). The Miners are perennially bad, but their home base is perennially picturesque. The place is literally carved into the side of a mountain, situated so snugly against some desert highland that cheapskates can watch games from atop it for free. The sky seems to always be cloudless and blue.

They learn to make free throws.

Hustle on D is good. Getting better at rebounding is good. But this team will not win consistently until they learn how to make a fvcking free throw.

Who is better??

Will play at USU in 2025
Here in 2028

Miners will play at Texas and at USU in 2025. Still need 2 more games.

First five games he scored 53 points(10ppg) and the last three it was 5, 2 and 7 or a bit over 4ppg. Rebounds were about the same throughout. What do you think? The numbers are definitely down. Hope it's nothing; but to me he's not been the same factor in the last three.

Utep is getting better, I'll admit. I watched the last two ball games and we should've won both. It wasn't a matter of talent or anything that can not be fixed. It was mistakes, like penalties, turnovers and missed opportunities. This team had it's chances to close out both games last week, but just isnti ready to close the deal! Oh and losing Kai before a big 4th and 1 didn't help either.

The upset of UNT in basketball or the upset of Boise St in football? Or am I missing something more important?

Pretty good matchup!

What an amazing game!

Nor do they know how to get the ball inside, all this chaotic movement…. Golden opportunity lost at UAB. And they foul a three point shooter, twice.

What they flight attendants for?? I can get my own snacks. Or why not just have a robotic cart?

who should i play

Donta foreman or Jeff Wilson Jr??

Kenny Golladay or Marcus Johnson??

and basically has the same TV coverage as Utep.



So, why not Utep just go indy in basketball?? They could probably schedule better and play better teams,
Chicagos State schedule doesnt look bad . IDK, just put this in with my other crazy ideas.

I don't know if you have Bally Sports in EP or not, but if you can watch him play he is beyond phenomenal. He has already done so many incredible things; Noone expected tonight's performance to turn out to be such an unbelievable event. His stats alone only tell part of the story. 60 points, 20 boards and 10 assists. Mavs were down 9 with 33 seconds left, Down 3 with 4 seconds and Luca was fouled. Made the 1st and deliberately missed the 2nd. Got his own rebound and in one motion put it back in to tie the game. Watching him is like seeing Houdini. BTW he was 21 of 31 from the field.

UTEP waiting 55 years and watch NMSUs first year coach end their season with a winning record and bowl win.

Senter will raise ticket prices and dumb UTEP fans will blame everyone else except their bad coach

Merry Christmas Miner Nation.

I say over.

Now that the US has played it’s final prep game before departing for Qatar, I thought it was a good time to start a MinerDigs World Cup thread.

Seems to me we should keep this thread all WC related. Any other non-world cup soccer related info should go into the usual soccer thread.

Anybody have any projections on who will win this thing?

**Also, just curious if anybody/everybody is aware how many migrant construction workers have died building all the stadiums and infrastructure for this WC? Reports from reputable sources cite that its 6500 people.

Does NMSU have more money than Utep??

Why are their recruiting classes better? Do they have bigger donors?

see what he can do?

Zachery and Givance not cutting it.
