OPT and Game Thread: Men's Hoops @ UT

[DBminer]

Why can we never have shooters on the team? Who was our last pure shooter ? —— not scorer — boum and then ….. ?? We need three lights out 3 pt shooters

 

[Dmanminer]

Your mommy doesn't let you have cookies. Sorry, I mean your wife. LOL

Appreciate your apology.

 

[TxRdKiller]

Nobody has really stood out for me other than maybe Solomon but he’s in foul trouble.

Z is playing well.

Konner Tucker?

 

[unihorn]

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.

We know, NoWins.

 

[denverutep]

Appreciate your apology.

Apology for what?

 

[utep2step]

Hamilton is a big boy! To bad he doesn’t have Z’s athleticism.

 

[MinerManiac]

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.

Then please tell me why we used to have a great student crowd? Back in the 80s we were just as much of a commuter school as we are now, yet students used to camp out at the ticket center prior to the release of student tickets to big game in order to get prime seats. Being a commuter school doesn't mean that you can't have a great student crowd. We've done it in the past

Like I already stated, it was because UTEP went to the NCAA Tournament on a regular basis. Also, back then, tuition was cheap. Now, unless you have help, you have to work and go to school.

SHSU beat OU.

 

[utep2step]

Here’s what I like: I heard Z worked his arse off during off season, it shows. Givance can run the offense (just tough against a top team).

Don’t like: Sibley needs to show up (as stated a few threads above). Miners need to calm down. Perimeter D is good then disappeared, then shows up at the end. Fouls fouls fouls,

Work and go to school was not uncommon either when i graduated in 2010….

dos Anjos on crutches and a brace on his leg.

 

[STexMiner]

Konner Tucker?

Jalen Ragland?*

* - practice only

 

[mikesarabia]

Darn officials!

 

[SAMINERGIRL]

These foul calls are getting unbelievable

The dude that transferred from LSU a few years ago. We only had him for one year but he could stroke it.

Just remembered…Daryl Edwards.

 

[denverutep]

Correct. Back in the 70's and 80's tuition was dirt cheap.

 

[mikesarabia]

Good offensive rebounding!

 

[Dmanminer]

Not good. Utep is rebounding a lot better than I thought they would.

Saterfield last year. Unfortunately once opposing teams learned that he couldn't put the ball on the floor he stopped getting open looks. But he was a great spot up shooter

 

[mikesarabia]

Lacking outside shooting. I don’t believe we have made a three yet.

Has Givance made a bucket?

Yes. Edwards. Hardy needs to be better for this team offensively.

 

[utep2step]

Look for Texas to get aggressive to get some distance, UTEP needs to play smart and don’t force it.

 

[DBminer]

Just think our last ncaa tournament teams you had a decent defense but we had people that could score everywhere —- still think that team with caracter could have been a final four team

 

[unihorn]

Cool how LHN featured Teich/Yellen/66/Bear/Hardaway.

 

[SAMINERGIRL]

Just our luck that we matched up with another final four team that year.

 

[MinerManiac]

Correct. Back in the 70's and 80's tuition was dirt cheap.

We didn't think of it that way back in the day. Almost everyone I knew had a job, almost no one I knew lived on campus. Again, the lack of continued success is to blame for our poor student crowds

 

[mikesarabia]

Frazier looks good!

 

[Dmanminer]

There our three!

You had a job to pay for tuition or for spending money? How much did you pay in tuition every year?

 

[SAMINERGIRL]

They just said that Frazier had heart surgery when he was at George Mason.

 

[Dmanminer]

And another!

 

[MinerManiac]

No charging call?

 

[axingfools1]

Bigs out on the perimeter killing our interior defense....again. I don't get this stategy

 

[MinerManiac]

What a shot by Sibley!

 

[denverutep]

Back to single digits. They have a chance.

Kalu was getting beat by Disu.

 

[mikesarabia]

Miners showing some fight!!
