TeamRankings has us finishing at 9-9 and 6th in the conference. I’m going to say we finish 3rd behind Liberty and LaTech with 12-6 solely based on our solid D and ability to score off TO’s.
GO MINERS!

Sounds about right. Maybe 11-7. And WKU may sneak in there somewhere.TeamRankings has us finishing at 9-9 and 6th in the conference. I’m going to say we finish 3rd behind Liberty and LaTech with 12-6 solely based on our solid D and ability to score off TO’s.

It’s an accomplishment at least. Something tangible. Obviously in a 1 bid league, winning the tournament is tops.Do conference standings really matter at the end? I rather win conference tournament than finish 1st in conference standings.
We get to hang a banner for it and celebrate being champions. In the old WAC it was good for an NCAA at-large bid, and until very recently it was at least good for an automatic NIT bid. It's a shame they took that away; the conference champions deserve some kind of reward.It’s an accomplishment at least. Something tangible.

UTEP has only won 2 league titles since 1992.
I'd say 9-9, but 12-6 would be great.I say we’re going to finish 12-6 too. Somewhere in the top 3. Maybe a 3 way tie for first.
