[unihorn]

I'm going -- not sure why. Anyone else?

 

[kappasigmaminer]

just gave tkts away but they will be used. I'm hoping my buddy start a fire Floyd chant!!!

 

[Cube Jack]

I'm on my way there right now. I sit in front of the band

 

[allminer]

Working, but was planning on handing out grocery bags outside the Don. Maybe next game.

 

[Cube Jack]

Stand up and I can probably see you

 

[UTEPfan1966]

Post on twitter what's going on. I couldn't even give my tickets away today.

I'm "too busy" to go tonight.....

9:45 in the first. UTEP 18, UCI 16

 

[Cube Jack]

3:50 in 1st. UTEP 25, UCI 24

 

[unihorn]

Zone D working better -- playing with more energy so far.

 

[Cube Jack]

Down 2 at half, 32-30. Scoreboard says 30-30 I guess it was waved off? Not sure

 

[PURPLEFIRE]

I'm here!!! Really liking the zone defense

 

[Cube Jack]

Little blonde kid is a thug! Rough player!

 

[Cube Jack]

Tied at 49. Just 4:38 to go

 

[Cube Jack]

Oh well. Down 54-49. Wilmms, Thomas and Jones all fouled out. UCI at the line

 

[ghost of strelz]

wow just wow

 

[Cube Jack]

Down 60-57. Only 7.6 to go

 

[unihorn]

A loss, but the best home game so far this season in my view.

 

[Cube Jack]

UCI wins. 62-57.

 

[UTEP05]

I'm here. Probably the lowest attended UTEP home game ever.

 

[utep-piggy]

I'm here. Probably the lowest attended UTEP home game ever.

"attendance is overrated, this town fully supports me and this basketball program"

 

[jobu]

I drove right by the arena at around 4:30 and had no inclination to stop.

 

[unihorn]

I'm here. Probably the lowest attended UTEP home game ever.

Can't really blame the fans for skipping it.

Really? Wow. That's bad news right there.

100 percent agree.

 

[unihorn]

I have four season tickets -- good ones -- and couldn't con anyone into coming with me.,

 

[UTEP05]

Every seat today was a good seat. Lol

 

[minermx07]

Me too. I have an easy time getting people to go to Chihuahuas and Rhinos games with me, but UTEP even when they're not that bad is like a chore for most people that they only do because they're my friends or family.

UTEP Athletics has earned a lot of animus from the community.

 

[Rot]

Total collapse. One of the worst teams in recent UTEP history.

 

[MineroFanatico]

I'm here. Probably the lowest attended UTEP home game ever.

Damn! How many were there approximately? Not what was announced but based on a true guesstimate.

 

[MineroFanatico]

I asked the same thing of 05. What do you guesstimate attendance to have been at? Sounds low whatever it was.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Wow! Crazy times in Miner bb land.

 

[UTEP05]

Damn! How many were there approximately? Not what was announced but based on a true guesstimate.

I would say around 1,500.

This pic is with 11:02 left in the second.

By the way anyone have the announced attendance. Can't seem to find it anywhere.

 

[MineroFanatico]

I would say around 1,500.

No effing way! Holy shit!!!

 

[Tucson_Miner]

I was there. Man this is a horrible nightmare we are all stuck in.

Look..,I don't wanna sound like a teenage girl but I gotta be honest that he first thought in my head was a big fuggin OMG when I saw that pic. Never...in my life have I seen the Don (SEC) that empty...ever...during a Miner game. Not even close.

Seeing that, I actually believe Floyd will be fired. Even Stull can't ignore that. Holy shit.

 

[JCorona]

I've seen this mentioned on twitter. I don't think anyone here has brought it up but at this rate UTEP is in real danger of not even qualifying for the CUSA tournament since only 12 of 14 teams qualify. Has that ever happened in the history of UTEP basketball?

 

[miner661]

When a picture is worth a thousand words...none of them positive.

Don't be so sure. I can already hear Stull's excuses, well it was a 5 o'clock tip during the holiday season, if we would've been in the championship game attendance would've been "normal", students out on break, yadda, yadda.

Good point. In answering truthfully, I can't imagine two teams that would finish behind us.
