Marquette...
- Thread starter unihorn
- Start date
I wouldn't say they are tougher than Arizona and they do not have a Chase Jeter from Arizona who created match up problems for Efe and Ezeagu and will be on a NBA roster for sure because Marquette's starting big man is also a true freshman but plays fearless and doesn't shy away from the basket. Eze should control that match up and that's the only thing going for UTEP at that spot, IMO.
Marquette has a fantastic back court and Markus Howard, who is averaging 20 a game, Gilyard/Hawk match up will determine if UTEP can stay competitive with Marquette or get blown out again like they did against Arizona who shut down Hawk and Gilyard from setting CRT's tempo. Gilyard and Hawkins love to slash and break to the hole and if Marquette shuts it down like Arizona did, it will get ugly late in the game. UTEP needs to improve their perimeter defensive game, improve tremendously at the free throw line and cut down TO's. If UTEP can do this, they really can make this a good season despite being mostly starting freshman.
A good buddy of mine works across the street from the DHC and got to speak to Gilyard last week and told my buddy that if some on the team get it out of their head they are not in high school anymore, we're going to be a damn good team or something to that nature.
But first, beat NMSU tonight.

UTEP at Marquette will be televised on FS1 at 7:30pm CT.
Watching Marquette beating #12 KSU by 11 at the half. Big, loud crowd at Marquette today. If the Miners have a good showing Tuesday in Milwaukee, then C-USA arenas won't be too tough for them.
No, this team is too young to wager on. Just saying it will be a good sign of more growth by the Miners. A game within 10 or so would be a pretty salty showing in a tough environment.
Hmmm...would you mind sharing all of your previous handles for this discussion forum? Sound like quite an "expert" for your first 21 posts. Just another alter-ego to put on "Ignore."
Just saw that Marquette is a 21 pt favorite. I guess I must have been dreaming; thinking that we've improved so much in the last three games that I expected the line to be around 11 or 12. Hope I'm right and the Vegas boys are wrong.

Bosscast.net has the stream listed. We'll see.
About the score...if we hit 70 we have a chance to look respectable. If we're in the 50s...not so much.
Homer vision says we lose by 10.

Looks like we might lose by 25 or more...but something positive.
We sucked early RT calls a timeout, and we go on a 6-0 spurt, I like that, coaching matters. Listening on the radio, but whatever quick adjustments were made shows how good RT can be with in game adjusments. That's still a big question mark for me with this new staff.

We can hang with these guys. Maybe not win but by minimizing turnovers and making the point blanks shots we’ve missed, we can hang.
The refs are out of control. Shoot, I'm getting frustrated when they call stuff on Marquette.
I like seeing UTEP play 21st century basketball now. You mean we dont have to pass around the perimeter until the clock runs out before we shoot?

Lathon looks good, he looks like he can play Big East basketball for sure.
Right? There is a different energy to these guys. They are starting to put some things together.
Campbell reminds me of Tevin Caldwell. He is undersized by has played well in place of PT.....or should I say NO PT since can't stop fouling. CRT must be dreaming of the day he can get Williams in there.
Lathon is like a new man playing PG!

Must be having his mom, family and friends in attendance that is inspiring Lathon. Gilyard has close to 40 friends and family in attendance. I hope he puts on a show in the second half for them.
