The Miners come home to regroup at the Don where they are 10-2. This starts a home stand of 3 games with Jax, a stumbling Liberty, then a week off before a rematch with the Aggies the following Saturday.
A big question in CUSA is can Sam Houston hold their own after a very fortunate start with 4 of their first 6 games having been at home. CUSA teams are struggling on the road so far this season.
UTEP's schedule looks a lot easier than the beginning of conference play with 6 of the last 10 games at home which includes the top teams in the conference. And we'll see the worst teams on the road.
Prognosticators are saying UTEP 69-Jax 65.
Here is a very good breakdown https://www.docsports.com/free-pick...-college-basketball-picks-best-bets-odds.html

I'll have some of what the experts are drinking:
UTEP 69
Peckerheads 65

74 Liberty
115 MTSU
119 La Tech
146 SHSU
156 UTEP
181 WKU
198 NMSU
206 JSU
237 FIU

Everyone has had a pair of games. Looks rough so far.

A few names id get behind: Kyle Keller, Jerome Tang and Jason Hart. Thoughts?

Who do we want him to bring?

I would like :

QB Mike Diliello
RB Jevon Jackson
WR Tre Shackelford
WR Trey Goodman

PK Maddux Trujillo: amazing stat from last year. I don't think he has missed.

LB Tyler Long :108 tackles 2023
LB Sam Howard 105 tackles 2023

And maybe some O Linemen .

El Paso Native Khatib Lyles is on the team but he didn't do much this season.

Crazy that I’m in Houston this weekend and had no idea UTEP would be in town too. Zero motivation to make the effort to attend the game. And I used to take pride in being the road warrior. Expect another tough one out.


UTEP 62
SHSU 64

There is no current line on the game but computer models are predicting LaTech 74, Miners 64.
UTEP is 0-5 on the road and LaTech is 9-0 at home. A Miner win would be a big upset.
Isaiah Crawford has always had UTEP's number. I don't think UTEP has anyone that can stop him.
The game is Thursday at 5pm on ESPN+. It should be a Mondo free experience.

UTEP 76
Bull Dogs 74

Good luck at the NCAAs Championships

Has anyone been to spring practice? If so what are your thoughts.

Very exciting. Looking forward to seeing it unveiled. The 1983-84 team will be honored during the game. It will be cool if other former players are there as well.

Must’ve been in the works for awhile for them to already have the replacement hired

At least the track and field one.

Very strange. Looking at his bio; he averaged 2.6 ppg and 8 minutes/game high game was apparently 10pts . How would these kind of numbers attract a scholarship? Holy cow boys; he's our leading scorer through 3 games and looks fantastic. So glad we've got him.

Still beat Bronzeing and anyone who thinks that the DePaul guy on the roster is any good, think again.

Middle Tennessee 68
UTEP 66

I don't have hope with this team right now.

Game is on CBS Sports Network.
UTEP is a 6 point favorite.

This will be a very tough game. UTEP doesn't fare well against good defensive teams. Luckily, WKU isn't very effective on the road. Lets hope that trend continues.

Hopefully Golding got some good clues from the WKU/NMSU game where the Aggies came back from a 23 pt deficit to win by 2.

Miners 70
WKU 68

Western Kentucky- 79
UTEP- 70

I still don't have faith that UTEP can beat good teams.

Didn’t see a thread for the game tonight. MTSU is 6-11 on the year with no road wins, a loss to Southern Utah, and their best win being an 11-6 Stephen F Austin squad (who did beat LMU and ACU).

Predictions? Are you going to the game?


I think UTEP stops the bleeding but MTSU makes it close at the end

UTEP 74 - MTSU 68

$15 for adults and $5 for children is cheap.

Anyone know if any good players are coming?

What is Junior day? Would this be considered an official visit for the players?
