2 things UTEP can do to improve basketball:
1) Have the Border Chorders sing the National Anthem 3-5 times per season (not even sure they exist anymore)?
2) Get High School or College students to wipe down the sweat/water off the court. We get 10 year olds - who's Dad owns a company who donates $$ - who are daydreaming or have no idea what is happening. Watching the game, Weston took a spill and the kid comes out and wipes like 5 feet away from where he was laying, the ref had to point where to wipe. Then a spill near the bench and he's off in the tunnel somewhere as they are trying to wave him over, so Golding has to get a towel and then wipe, and the kid comes out later unaware he's the reason there's a game stoppage of a D-1 game.
I'm sure he's a good kid, not blasting him personally, but for years we get kids who walk out during time outs and just wander aimlessly pushing a broomstick and dont recognize the whole purpose of them being there is to help prevent some 6-5 2215 pound college player from blowing out a knee from slipping on perspiration.
