"Secret" UTEP Basketball Scrimmages
- Thread starter TenaciousD
- Start date
Yup. Hoping to get more accurate, complete and statistical results later, but for now I'm told the score was 67-43 and that HB was really so bad there wasn't any measuring of our own talent level.
Not me. There's been some other posts on secret games; namely BW's 25pt, 7board game with Wichita State. Mystery to me the purpose of the secrecy.
TODAY! There's a secret scrimmage in Ft Worth with TCU. Hope we do well and wish we could l d get some feedback
You can't compare a Terry coached team to any other coached team and hopefully a Golding coached team.
A new beginning this year Fili.

They started 8-0. Whatever happened on that Hawaii trip is what imploded the season. I blamed the players, but Terry didnt help at all.
Blew two games in the closing min with poor play. Destroyed their confidence and only got it back after most of the conference play was done. I hated this about Terry's teams, they never seemed to close out strong, we always seemed to be hanging on, even when we had leads. Way too often a bench guy came into the game and dominated us in the last few min.
Competing of playing time and infighting among UTEP starters.
Terry than pulls a Rab's and goes on local media with slight of hand dialogue blaming and saying the players should be appreciative for the chance to play college ball, especially at this level, which he's right but don't spill it to the media.
So it doesn't seem TCU is keeping the secret.
I'm guessing they won, otherwise they wouldn't have posted a video bragging about what we couldn't see.
The only thing I've seen about it from anybody was that video that TCU tweeted. Even if nobody wants to leak a box score, is there anything in general that anybody can share about the scrimmage?
I know it's all TCU highlights, but based on the video our defense doesn't look that great
That's what a highlight is supposed to look like. I wonder why UTEP didn't post their own. Do we not have any or were we not allowed to record?
Now, I know it was leaked in the Northwestern-Iowa St. scrimmage that they played one normal half, and then they switched to sequences where each team had to play a certain type of defense (presumably to give both teams experience playing against these defenses). So, I don't know if something similar was in play for the UTEP-TCU scrimmage, where maybe each team had to use a certain defense for parts of the scrimmage or if there were any other special rules in play.
Does it really matter now? We have a glorified scrimmage coming up in 5 hours
Unfortunately Duke and Kentucky were already scheduled to play each other tonight.
I wonder is Tech supposed to be any good this year? I know it's McCasland's 1st season.
