Great - UTEP picked up two very good wins over the Thanksgiving holidays. I don't know if this has been posted, but CSU had a 21 game non-conference schedule winning streak that ended last night.
I was at the tourney and have the following observations:
Touchet grew last night. His minutes were limited but he was not intimidated and showed a quick first step and the ability to drive to the bucket.
Hooper is playing like a fifth year senior. Most of us knew that the success of this year's team, especially after Willms went down, rested on our inside game. Hooper has stepped up in a big way and has had double digits in all games this year. What a great story.
Lee Moore wants to win. He will not accept losing. He is a warrior.
Morris drove to the hoop at will in the second half. He is clutch.
Artis is a very good guard. He was thrown off his game against Southern bc of fouls. Yesterday, he did some small things very well but was not himself. I still feel very safe with him handling the ball.
Winn is breaking out. He does not look or play like a freshman. He brings a great energy to the team and plays with confidence.
CSU was as good a rebounding team as I've ever seen in person. Still, we need to do better and Floyd will work on that before the NMSU game.
This team has heart and can go a long way.
Any word on McSwiggan?

Well said Mambo, I agree 100 percent with everything you said. You said you were at the tournament, was there a good Miner contingent compared to the other teams?
Miner contingent was decent and was the best represented amongst all teams.
The tourney next year in Charleston is going to be great. Make your plans now.

What heart and this victory is not only good for the win but the team unity and belief in each other.
Some tough games coming up this next few weeks. And hopefully McSwiggin, Harris,& Jones all come back
GO MINERS

There are multiple RPI's. Which one are you looking at? Also, is there one RPI that is proclaimed the "official RPI" ?
It's ESPN's RPI that has us at 7. CBS's RPI has us at 4. The NCAA has an official RPI, but I don't think that comes out until later in the year.

What impressed me the most about the win against csu was the fact that the miners came from behind a large double digit deficit at half time. Both the coaching staff and players deserve credit for making half time adjustments and not panicking or quitting. This team also played many games in a short span and their conditioning was great as they played two ot periods. Guys came off the bench and contributed. Well coached teams like siu and csu will help the miners prepare as they enter conference play. Although this was small tourney it had the feel of a post season tourney. Let's take it one game at a time and beat the aggies.
Hooper has had an outside game since he's been here. He was the 3 point contest either last year or the year before
#7 was too early to mean anything statistically. We're better than #226.

Maybe. But not by much. We have lingered in the 200's for quite a while now. What tells you we are better than that?
I might say individual talent or team "potential," but in truth we are what our record says we are.
