Southern Utah vs UTEP at the Don

[FeralFelidae]

Good news: Onyema drew the foul
Bad news: He has to shoot free throws

 

[FeralFelidae]

But he drained both!

 

[MinerManiac]

I was going to say cover the eyes of the wife and kids, Onyema's at the line. But he made both!

 

[FeralFelidae]

Was that a hook shot from Onyema?

 

[MineroFanatico]

Was that a hook shot from Onyema?

Not really

Nope. Strong take to the hoop. He’s just so strong underneath. Nice.

Good team in SU. This will be close to the end.

Yeah, these guys are not gonna just roll over.

 

[MinerManiac]

After everyone figured out Saterfield's game and he stopped getting so many open looks, I think he's rushing it every time he now gets one.

 

[MineroFanatico]

This dude can’t ****ing miss

 

[FeralFelidae]

Miners have gone cold, and SU just knocked down back-to-back threes.

This is what I was worried about.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Time for Golding to work his magic.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Our defense looks stagnant. Not even talking about the wide open 3s they’ve hit.

The team doesn’t look into it.

 

[MinerManiac]

I've become used to these long droughts on offense with this team, but what's with giving up that uncontested layup?

Not the first one tonight

 

[utep2step]

Need a Boum run now.

 

[FeralFelidae]

That charge was some BS.

 

[MineroFanatico]

What a pussy call.

 

[MinerManiac]

Another BS flop called a charge in the post. This is beyond ridiculous

 

[MineroFanatico]

Another matador defensive play.

 

[nattybry]

Their defense is weak, but our offense so far is just offensive! Can make a shot to save our lives in our own gym!

 

[MinerManiac]

Wow has our defense become crap

 

[axingfools1]

Defend the rim Golding!!!! Is pulling our big men out our only defense?!

 

[FeralFelidae]

I hope UTEP can get it under 10 by the half.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Defend the rim Golding!!!! Is pulling our big men out our only defense?!

The guys on the court are doing him no favors. Pathetic defense.

This looks like the Marshall game.

 

[utep2step]

SU slicing Golding D now. Wow.

 

[axingfools1]

We have to have a least 2 options on defense. How about some strict Man to man?

 

[nattybry]

S. Utah making it look easy! We better wake up defensively and offensively in the second half or we're all gonna end this season on a sour note!

 

[MinerManiac]

It's hard watching this 1st half. Offense js struggling (we could really use Bienemy) and the defense has sucked after the 1st few minutes.

 

[utep2step]

Horrid defense.

 

[shyminer81]

Well that turned ugly.

 

[axingfools1]

Boum misses a free throw, goes weak to the rim and they go strong. 5pt swing.

 

[FarWestTexas]

😬 If we lose we get unlimited byes in the bracket right?

 

[utep2step]

Well that turned ugly.

UTEP getting into the paint but not finishing.

 

[JCorona]

If we survive this game the tournament should stop with the greed and gives us the bye to the semis.

 

[Lil_Train]

We are in big trouble at half. They are easily beating our guys off the dribble, and making the extra pass for easy buckets.

Saterfield was open on several occasions in the first half, but wasn't found be his teammates. Against a team like this, he should find plenty of open looks. Without Bieniemy, we need someone to get hot, since I don't see us stopping these guys. Indeed, very Marshall like.

 

[axingfools1]

S. Utah is quick and cutting us up. We need to hold our ground and defend the paint. No need to double team up top. If they shoot us out of the gym then fine, but NO MORE easy layups. Let's see if Golding adjusts.

 

[utep2step]

When I saw their win against Kent State I knew UTEP was in for a dog fight but I didn’t expect this halftime score.

Oh are we are getting doubled up on the boards.

 

[utep2step]

Announcers saying SU plays with attitude and like to smack talk. Miners need to come out and punch them back in the mouth or this game will end ugly.

 

[Rot]

Southern Utah shooting lights out because we’re allowing too many uncontested shots. We need to regroup and play better D and get more Rebounds! They’re killing us on the boards. They’re a very good team and we’ll need to play a complete game if we want to beat these guys.
