Looking ahead to Louisville game

[utep2step]

That was a damn major walk on Rooths on the alley oop. Jesus man.

 

[JCorona]

SEC bought commercials on a ACC game?

 

[MinerMambo]

Hamilton has been at UTEP for three years and could not get in shape.

 

[MinerMambo]

Golding needs to demonstrably communicate with the refs. The foul disparity is unconscionable.

Rather have Jones in there. Hamilton has no chance against the Louisville athletes.

I don’t think we ever been good at playing against home cooking, it always gets the best of us and honestly can’t blame em. That with Bynum’s injury is hurting us big time

 

[MinerManiac]

Rebound damn it!

Home cooking aside. We’re letting them walk to the basket and leaving them wide open.

 

[MinerManiac]

Nice by Barnes!

 

[SAMINERGIRL]

Barnes and Bynum are such upgrades! I’m so impressed with both of these guys.

 

[MINER.JAY]

Agree but home cooking is good for about 8-10 pts right now. Not making excuses for the guys, literally expressed how they don’t play well against it, but still frustrating, and they’re still battling only down 3. Proud of the guys so far, either way it goes

 

[MinerDave]

Win or lose. Best UTEP team in years

 

[MINER.JAY]

No foul for camper, foul on kalu, 4 pt swing 🙄

 

[MinerManiac]

Barnes keeping us alive down the stretch, if only he had hit those 2 missed FTs

 

[MinerManiac]

No foul for camper, foul on kalu, 4 pt swing 🙄

Kalu did get him with the body

 

[Lil_Train]

Barnes needs to make those freebies

 

[utep2step]

Can they mimic that same defense? Look for drive to draw foul.

 

[STexMiner]

We were dead in the water at the 10 minutes mark or so so good to see them fight back.

 

[MINER.JAY]

Kalu did get him with the body

True but was worse the other way imo

 

[utep2step]

Damn offensive rebounds😡😡😡

 

[dementiajoe]

Free timeout to Louisville

 

[MinerManiac]

That's two damn stops this trip down the court but each time we gave up offensive boarda

 

[MinerManiac]

Let's get a stop and get the damn rebound!

 

[SAMINERGIRL]

Did Kalu really make that??

 

[MinerManiac]

Damn! Nothing you can do about the home cooking, but you can block out. Not doing so killed us.

 

[utep2step]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkk!!

 

[SAMINERGIRL]

I can’t even be upset with UTEP on that one. They play like that the rest of the year, they will win the conference. IMO, a depleted Louisville is still better than most teams in our league.

 

[KaneFan29]

Not. Good. Enough.

 

[MinerMambo]

This one hurts because we could have won this game.

 

[FarWestTexas]

Need a sports walk. But at least it was nice to just be in the game. I was actually enthused.

But in year four of CJG these should be games we win!

Hope for more with guayabera-wearing-dark Golding!

 

[utep2step]

They fought back but offensive rebound bug did Miners in.

 

[MINER.JAY]

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkk!!

Dammit u beat me to that same remark 😂😂😂 I guess we’re all in unison

Great hard fought loss out there for the miners. What absolutely killed us was the rebounding on the offensive end for Louisville.

We were also missing our nation leading steals this game. I’m gonna chalk that up to them being selective because of the quick whistles, but our defense played totally different in the second half than the first, especially with the whistle happy refs that period. We attempted 23 less free throws than them, most being in the second half.

Bynums absence for the remainder in the first half was also a big hit, but glad to see him come back to play in the second. He’s definitely “the black cat” dynamite off the bench we’ve needed for a long time.

All in all, proud of the squad, and am now more hopeful once conference season starts. Go miners!!

 

[JCorona]

I enjoy these kind of games a lot more than a 40 point win over some D3 unknown team at home.

 

[FiliUTEP]

That's a good Utep team.

Looks like a well coached team.

 

[develman]

I didn't watch but the last 3:40 of the game; just a cursory look at the stats and what I watched we lost because of the huge foul disparity and of course rebounding. How many years has it been that we've had a good rebounding team?

 

[nattybry]

Good game, we had our chances, but good showing I suppose.

 

[STexMiner]

Tech does suck, but if he’s feeling it enough to talk mess and continue to back it up - talk your 💩!

Unbecoming of Kelsey to cry about it like he did!

You want those 2 free points back now?

 

[FiliUTEP]

 

[MINER51]

That was an ACC officals crew, or was it custodians that work for Louisville?? Weak ass calls on Miners when as Dukie V use to say "ACC BABY"

Good question, I don't know the answer. But we haven't had a good rebounding team under Golding.
