it is sad to be watching all of the conference championships and to see just how much better teams are, from conferences that were "inferior" just a few years ago. I am sad to see what UTEP basketball and Conference USA have become. I have to admit that I wanted nothing more than for Tim Floyd to turn us in to a mid-major power. It is clear that he will NEVER achieve that at UTEP. I am going on record and saying that he will NOT get us to the NCAA tournament next season. The retuning players are great offensively but defensively they play zero defense and got killed on the boards 8 out of every 10 games. Who's to say that CTF will even play the same style next season. He made it clear that he was uncomfortable with it. Let's say he recruits 2 to 4 new guys mostly power forward types .... the excuse when we are losing next season is going to be that with all the new faces they need time to "gel". We are really screwed you guys and the only true way to really start improving is for CTF to step down, retire, and allow someone else to give it a shot.
By the way, CUSA is so bad that UAB is projected as a 7 seed in the NIT ... really?!
