OPT and Game Thread: Men's Hoops @ UT
- Thread starter MinerManiac
- Start date
We used to have a crazy, boisterous student section. Us old timers remember the original Miner Maniacs. Our student section these days is lacking. And yes, the fact that they haven't had much to cheer for during their time at UTEP is largely to blame
Falling backwards after a shot leads to a T? Hate flopping, but the new rule is ridiculous
Miners already have two flop violations and two free throws for the Longhorns.☹️
Like us, UT couldn't seem to buy a bucket to start the game. Unlike us they can't seen to miss now
That was a momentum fall. Even commentators said it was not a flop.
Don’t forget, this longhorn team beat Arkansas by 30 the other day. This is not the game to judge our team on. Tough, tough, tough first game.
Yeah, somebody needs to let the zebras know that UT isn’t gonna need their assistance tonight.
Did you go to UTEP? Most of the students in my classes were non-traditional students. They have families and/or jobs. They don't have the luxury of just attending classes and living on campus.
Yeah, it helps when you're going to the NCAA Tournament on a regular basis and winning games in the Tournament. It's going on 13 years for UTEP.
Miners hanging tough and not giving up.
Of course it does. There is a huge difference between living on campus and walking to the game vs. going home/going to work and driving back to the games.
Good work from Onyema so far. If he's supposed to lead us, Sibley is going to have to show up at some point.
That tap going to set a screen was called a foul on Z? C'mon man!
Yeah, there have been some soft fouls called against us
And another one on the and 1 as I’m typing this up.
Yes and worked and couldn’t go to every game but went to a bunch.
why is it so hard to drive back to the campus.?
If we want a Winning team it takes support!
We've always been a commuter school, but used to have a great student crowd. Our lack of recent success is more to blame than being a commuter school.
Yep, chocolate chip please! But don’t tell my wife cause I’m not supposed to have them.
Ticky tac fouls but gotta play thru. Z looks so much better. Feed the big man!
If I’m counting right, Golding has had to go 11 deep so far??
I didn't say it's hard. But most people don't like sports and don't want to waste their time/money going to events they don't have any interest in.
A winning team has zero percent to do with the students attending the games.
It's both. There would be more students going to the games if UTEP wasn't a commuter school.
