Highest scoring team in the nation again, or at least in Mexico
Basketball starts today!
- Thread starter utep2step
- Start date
Undefeated in Mexico
That would be exciting and surely a complete different story
Dark Golding seems to be carrying himself way different from previous years. I hope this translates to more success!
One thing that I do like about him is that he's humble. I also like Wilson's attitude.

Here is the thing about Golden…. He’s not overnight fix guy and his recruiting hasn’t been at the level we as Miner Fans would like obviously. He needs to get to 22+ wins this year and honestly make the NCAA, but NIT and winning a couple of games would show us promise! We all understand it’s a one bid league and it’s tough. I’d like to see Golden string 2 good years together before going to the MWC to restore my faith in him.
They played the Chihuahua School and won 111-62. They didn’t play UACJ. They did an intersquad game and a clinic.
Does anybody know why the final score between UTEP vs UACH has not been displayed on the UTEP Athletics Basketball Schedule webpage ?
We all know that, my question is why is the score not on the UTEP Athletics website ?
That's a weird thing to say out of the blue. I've had a job since I was 16. What about you? Not sure what Denver has to do anything, but most of your posts don't make any sense.

Just realized I will be in ELP for the home opener against Sul Russ State so Ill be in the Don for that one. Now the real question is should I even bother going to the Middle Tennessee football game the Saturday before that?
Quotes from Bronzeing
"We want to compete for championships," said head coach Joe Golding as he prepares for his fourth year at UTEP. "There's no question with so many guys back and the guys we've brought in, we want to compete for a championship."
"This is our best team depth-wise," Golding said. "It's easier to hold kids accountable when they aren't doing what they are supposed to do because there is so much competition. It will also allow us to play 10 or 11 guys."
"We returned some guys who can shoot the basketball and we've recruited some guys who can shoot the basketball," he said. "The guys coming back have worked on that - Corey Camper, David Terrell, Baylor Hebb, Otis Frazier, Trey Hornton. Trey's an elite shooter, we need him to shoot at a 40% clip, he's made a ton of improvement."
"Rebounding is our biggest concern, especially coming out of the exhibition," Golding said. "I've been worried about it all summer. We're going to have to be careful with our lineups. Sometimes we play lineups, and we are just small."
He’s confident the scoring will be there, worried about rebounding, and they’re going to compete for the championship. This will be his best team “depth wise”, which doesn’t even mean it’s his actual best team. Lol

'Good pressure': UTEP men's basketball eyes CUSA championship with veteran team
With 10 returners mixed with a few new pieces, UTEP looks for first league title since 2010

I believe him. If we can get past Jackson State, who had a net ranking of 300 last season, then a championship game at home against either Akron (ranked 108) or Yale (81) is totally within reach.Quotes from Bronzeing

Yup, it "Bronzing" year. It's been less than spectacular, the bar is very high for UTEP basketball and it should. Unlike football which goes wild over a first win over FIU, we look past wins over PAC 12 teams (and not on UTEP soil) and tough WCC squads. CUSA tourney title loss? For football that a major milestone, for UTEP basketball, that's failure......total failure. "Bronzing" has UCSB, Utah Valley, Seattle, Louisville, San Jose State, Tarleton State, solid WAC, west coast and ACC schools in tough mid major conferences; but damn you "Bronzing"!! You have UTPB and Jackson State, those don't deliver the tequila! Some east coast schools will not touch UTEP with a ten foot pole which has been explained for years....but damn you anyways "Bronzing!". At UNM exhibition loss that Pitino, Jr. had to take out the bench and use starters the remainder of 1st half and entire 2nd? Total failure. "Nothing done since '92".
So buckle up Minerfans, it's Monday but it's the start of the '24-'25 season. Get ready for "Mr. Crabs" Corona & "Ain't a thang since '92, what's your handle in '25?" Kanefane as they break down UTEP basketball all year long with their comparison and contrast analysis against would've, could've, should've stats and basketball events around the country.
Don't worry, Fili, 'citer and myself will provide the continuous social media posts that make you all go "hmmm?! What?!".

Great post, bro. I agree with Golding, but he could be more specific about which championships he’s aiming for, it’s a bit open to interpretation. And calling out Fili’s posts is a bit ironic. You’ve been sharing stuff from social media that has us all wondering what you’re on.
Here’s the thing that you don’t understand, the win vs Cal meant absolutely nothing. #1 because UTEP lost their next 5 games to D1 opponents and then finished 7-9 in CUSA. #2 Cal finished 13-19.
What WCC team did UTEP beat last year? Unless it’s Gonzaga or St Mary’s, nobody cares.
Making the CUSA championship and losing isn’t an accomplishment if your record is 18-16. Result is the same, no tournament, too many losses. It doesn’t negate the poor performances that happened during the season.
If you’ve ever wondered why UTEP schedules so many non D1 games, it’s to pad their record and create an illusion for casual fans. According to the NET which the NCAA uses to determine bids, we finished 15-16. We didn’t play any teams from the WCC, but some clueless fans believe UC Santa Barbara is part of it.
I think they were referring to Bobby Montgomery (Mt. Zion Prep) committing to UTEP.
We actually did play LMU, of course we lost by 20 in front of 100 people, but we didn’t beat any “tough” WCC teams.
My mistake. Damn lost by 20 to an 11-19 WCC team. Gotta dig deep for the positives nowadays.
Hopefully there will be banners to commemorate the appearance in the CUSA title game and the victory over Cal debuting at the game tonight!
I’m still wondering why we haven’t hung banners from our CBI tourney appearances. 🤡
After a loss in the 2013 CUSA tournament either Jon or someone else asked Floyd if they were going to continue the season or something like that. Floyd then responded with “UTEP only plays in tournaments that start with N”.
Very next season, they play in the CBI and lose to Fresno here. LMAO.
In the spirit of keeping things positive, I have to point out another great move by the UTEP athletic department for finally changing up the ESPN+ broadcasting crew for men's basketball.
For those who miss Mando, please tune into a women's game when you get a chance. It truly is a "tremendous" experience 😀

What a stinking Troll-fest this Basketball post turned out to be. Smells like fake UTEP "fans," Cellar dwelling trolls, lonesome rejects, non-dating "bros," and the occasional Knee-padded Trumpian...must really suck to live in that grey world of theirs.
