Miners at the Pit MBB
- Thread starter groundrounds
- Start date
Can anyone think of a good reason to play this game at 1pm? It’s on a free, 2nd rate streaming service and not on TV, so the only people watching are UTEP and UNM fans. Putting it at 1, puts at the end of the 1st NFL TV window and at the start of the 2nd one. ABQ is big on the Cowboys and Broncos, but seems like a weird decision to play this at 1pm. Why not 5 or 6?

Didn't see the first half. But looks like UNM doesn't have a big strong big. Seems we had a favorable match-up against them.
Nice road win against a good team. The defense on Mashburn and House was on point. Solid game by Kennedy. Hope we can build on this.
Well that was unexpected! Nice road win by the Miners in one of the most hostile places you can play at.
Some of the best defense I've seen since the Haskins era. UNM has built a nice resume and we beat them resoundingly. Did we ever trail in the game?
BTW, was I the only one to predict a win in this thread?
Kalu got a couple clean up rebounds mid point in 2nd half that really helped.
Good job by Kennedy holding point. UNM had no answer for Boum who made them pay at the line.

Happy we won, but not sure what you're talking about nice resume. They're 6-5 with best win against NMSU... followed by average Montana State and FAU squads.
Good defensive win tonight. Miners overcame not having their point and Sibley was sick. I am happy with the win.
No doubt...Fantastic "D", patience on offense and limiting shooting 3's. Great victory following some big disappointments.
Really happy today. Still wonder about Saterfield's limited playing time as well as Maring's.

I have a question for Miner fans. I live out of state, so I don't see too many games on tv or in person. Do Miner fans still SFD? Considering the style of coach Golding is, it would be appropriate. If UTEPs younger fans don't know what SFD is, it's time to learn. I hope this game is a good omen for things to come. Go Miners.
I should have been more specific and said “offensively”. What he does bring is rebounding. Put backs are the only way he scores. I’ll take em. I’m probably too hard on him.
Reporter: is your dad a slimy cheater in all facets of the word.
Rick Patino: Uh, he gets by..
He seems very athletic in all of his videos. I guess that is not translating to the game. Can we morph he and Onyema together?
I just thought he sounded a bit condesending.
And UTEP was 232 or so, right? Winning in the Pit is it's own reward. I didn't think they could do it without Beineimy.
The UNM announcers stated that he "waived to be taken out". That's all I remember hearing.
Tydus was +19 on the box score. Tonight's performance is what we need out of him. Hope he can get going from here on out
Yeah I'm interested too. How do you calculate the plus/minus Picks Up? I recently heard that Kemba Walker was taken out of the Knicks line up because he was carrying a significantly negative score.
238 right behind ODU. Rice is 189. FWIW, UNLV made a big jump as did St Joseph's from the A10 after both had won two in a row. So UTEP could go up just a few.
Looking at NET its really is misleading. Wofford is 95 with a weak schedule and MTSU is 99?! They lost to a not so good SFA team and did lose to a surprisingly good Murray State (who upset Memphis).
The UNM beat guy posted the box score with the plus/minus
The plus/minus is the score differential that occurs when that player is in the game. Basically it lets you know if the player had a positive or negative impact on the game
Not necessarily. Sometimes that’s a good indicator of a +/- impact, but not the end all be all of that. Someone can play 2 minutes and not do anything on the court and be counted for a +8 because someone hit 2 three pointers and a dunk and the other team didn’t. Doesn’t mean he contributed at all to the +8.
Obviously. There isn't one stat that ever tells the entire story but numbers can help illustrate what happened.

True, it isn’t the end all be all. However, I’d contend that Verhoeven’s +19 was a good indicator that we were better while he was in.
When there isn’t a “dominant” big man opposing him, TV is pretty solid. He’s just so challenged offensively.
I got this from sports-reference.com plus/minus for the season.
1. Boum +4.8
2. Satterfield +3.5
3. Agnew +2.2
4. Sibley +2.0
5. Kennedy +0.6
Our worst plus/minus is Giffa at -67
UTEP
1. Boum +4.8
2. Satterfield +3.5
3. Agnew +2.2
4. Sibley +2.0
5. Kennedy +0.6
Our worst plus/minus is Giffa at -67
UTEP
It didn't need to be fixed. If UTEP goes on a long winning streak there's a chance we have a bigger crowd at home.
