Teich just said Kalu is supposed to start. Who else is in the starting lineup?? Any information or educated guesses??

[MinerManiac]

How is that a foul? Both were battling for a board

 

[MinerManiac]

Hopefully Dos Anjos is okay

 

[MinerManiac]

We can't be turning it over off of shot clock violations

 

[MinerManiac]

Our offense really sucks so far. Our only bucket is off of a put back. We haven't got many good looks out if our offense

 

[MinerManiac]

I'm satisfied with our early D, however

 

[MineroFanatico]

Already we look like a “better” rebounding team than we’ve been the last few years.

Good news is Texas is struggling too…so far

 

[axingfools1]

Its a shootout!

And I like that we are attacking the rim instead of launching an endless barrage of missed 3s.

Unfortunately I can't watch, but this is good!

 

[Lil_Train]

Dos Anjos still in the locker room injured.

 

[mikesarabia]

Miners look a little erratic on the offensive end to me. They need to relax and maybe do some back door cuts with Texas overplaying the ball.

 

[MinerManiac]

I'm really encouraged so far by our D against a superior opponent, but our offense scares me. Sure, we're getting shots going to the rim, but they're more forced, off balanced shots rather than good looking opportunities. We need both better shots out of our offense and some shot makers.

 

[SAMINERGIRL]

For those not listening to the radio…Mario McKinney is not at Texas for personal reasons but will play in the home opener.

 

[MinerManiac]

That was a nice offensive set leading to the foul

 

[MineroFanatico]

Nothing coming easy offensively.

EDIT: Except for that last bucket.

 

[mikesarabia]

Is it just me or does it seem the players are slipping all over the floor?

 

[MinerManiac]

Second straight good look on offense

 

[MineroFanatico]

It’s not just you.

 

[MinerManiac]

I didn't hear - who was the T on?

 

[SAMINERGIRL]

Givance for a flop

 

[MineroFanatico]

We are entering the danger zone.

 

[TxRdKiller]

Now it's getting away from us. Back-to-back missed 3s, careless passes, lazy defense. Ugh.

 

[mikesarabia]

It’s getting out of hand now.😟

 

[MinerManiac]

Now UT is pulling away

 

[FarWestTexas]

How many more fouls we aiming for!?!

 

[SAMINERGIRL]

I’m listening on the radio. Are these fouls “road” fouls? Or legit?

 

[Dmanminer]

Fouls are a little one sided.

 

[utep2step]

Big push off missed.

 

[Dmanminer]

Utep students should get a lesson on attending the games!

You're comparing apples to oranges. UTEP is a commuter school. Texas isn't.

 

[MineroFanatico]

A Kalu sighting on the offensive end. Nice!!

 

[mikesarabia]

Nice rebound and put back by Kalu.

 

[Lil_Train]

Way too many unforced turnovers

 

[minerfan_14]

You're comparing apples to oranges. UTEP is a commuter school. Texas isn't.

And UTEP isn’t ranked so there’s not going to be a massive turnout either

 

[mikesarabia]

They are starting to hit their threes.

 

[MineroFanatico]

It’s hard to see where the points are gonna come from this year.
