Miner Aggie game thread

[MinerManiac]

Anyone else not getting sound on ESPN+?

 

[MinerManiac]

Now I'm getting sound

Nice to see Rus - Miner basketball in the 90s would have been better if he hadn't been dismissed as assistant coach

 

[OsoFromELP]

Yeah it was lacking for a minute. It’s good now.

 

[MinerManiac]

Need to hit the defensive boards

 

[OsoFromELP]

Already with the cheap fouls?

 

[MinerManiac]

We are getting destroyed on the boards

 

[MinerManiac]

The defense us creating turnovers, but the offense looks ugly

 

[FeralFelidae]

I'm liking everything I'm seeing except the shooting.

5 NMSU turnovers already, but just 3 points to show for it.

 

[OsoFromELP]

Offense looks crappy. Shots not going in.

 

[develman]

Seems NMSU big are more active and athletic than ours.

 

[MinerManiac]

Didn't like that foul call

 

[MinerManiac]

I love Agnew, except when he shoots

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

Can’t rebound, can’t shoot 3s

 

[MinerManiac]

Our D forces a lot of turnovers, but often leaves the outside shot wide open.

Yes, Plus we are getting killed inside and on the boards.

 

[OsoFromELP]

Definitely getting killed on rebounding on both sides of the court.

 

[MinerManiac]

Rebounding is going to hurt us all year unless we get it fixed

 

[MinerManiac]

Nice hook by Tydus

 

[MinerManiac]

Agnew hurts us so much on offense

 

[OsoFromELP]

Raining 3s in the Pan Am 😩

 

[shyminer81]

UTEP broadcast needs to take note of “Aggievision” it’s pretty good. Need some shots to fall, they need to keep it within range. They may have a shot

 

[MinerManiac]

We need some buckets

 

[Lil_Train]

We need some buckets

Yes. Just can't score.

 

[MinerManiac]

Boum struggling from the FT line tonight

 

[FeralFelidae]

Boum can't even hit free throws anymore.

 

[MinerManiac]

Can't even rebound of the missed FT. Are they taking Fili's advice on rebounding technique?

 

[OsoFromELP]

Who’s the strength and conditioning coach for UTEP (the big guy with the long beard)? He apparently isn’t affected by coaching changes. Seen him since Barbee if I remember correctly.

He looks like a seasoned NBA vet.

 

[FeralFelidae]

0-8 from three.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Kennedy drains the open 3! Finally.

5-point game.

 

[OsoFromELP]

Refs are whistle happy.

 

[OsoFromELP]

All in all it could be worse at half.

 

[STexMiner]

Refs are whistle happy.

That probably means you can get away with murder in the second half. Because college basketball....

 

[TxRdKiller]

I was late tuning in so I only caught the last 4 minutes or so of the 1st half. I love the hustle and pursuit for the ball that I saw in those 4 minutes. The intensity is 10x more than I remember in Rodney Terry teams.

It's a 5-point game at the half. Let's see how well we play in the 2nd. I'm liking what I'm seeing from our guys so far except for the usual Souley Boum forced shots. I wish he would stop forcing shit and let the game flow come to him.

 

[utep2step]

Good D. Can’t hit shit and FT is terrible.

 

[miner1liner]

Disappointed not to see Saterfield or White when we need buckets. Must be defensive liabilities.

 

[MinerManiac]

Poor start to the 2nd half

 

[OsoFromELP]

Miners getting wiped across the court this 2nd half 🙄

 

[MinerManiac]

We ate still struggling offensively, and our D isn't creating turnovers like it dis in the 1st half. This could get really ugly
