I want UTEP to have a chance to win, so I'm okay with this (this season; I expect UTEP and the field to be better next season).
I always wanted to see. NMSU,UNM, Texas Tech ,Utep field.
Exhibit A
So you saying you wouldnt want to see that? And you call yourself a Utep fan??
How is it unrealistic?
I hope you are not being serious.
How many screen names do you have now?? Honeyboy and this one. You need heplp.
First of all most college basketball teams don't give a crap about this tournament and that's why we get the teams we have been getting.How is it unrealistic?

UNM can just schedule a home game at the Pit instead and make $$$, and playing in a tournament with NMSU gives them a very good chance at losing to NMSU 3 times in like 2 months. They have no interest.
A road tournament with UTEP, UNM, and NMSU pretty much has zero benefit for Texas Tech. A loss would be embarrassing and a winning the tournament does very little for them. All they need to do is have a winning record in the Big 12 and they are a lock for the NCAA Tourney. Plus they are a top Big 12 team, why would they even want to come to some G5 school's tournament???
NMSU is the most realistic team , but why would they want to play UTEP possibly 2 times in El Paso???
I'm not Honeyboy. I'm not like Purplefire who uses 2 user names on this board. Sorry to disappoint you.
How about Texas Tech, SDSU and Arizona State.....or something similar when UTEP is better in the next few years.
How come we don’t play Baylor at all?? That would be a good matchup for us
Obviously, you don’t know how these tournaments work. This tournament is NOT on national TV and is played on one of the teams homecourt. Which team out of UTEP, Tech, SDSU, and ASU is willing to take 2 losses and not play on TV???
In a best case scenario you get 1 of those 3 teams. Norfolk State is this years team willing to risk taking 2 losses for a paycheck. ETSU and Wyoming didn’t.
Is it really that difficult to understand???!

We know how these tourneys work. Sometimes they do get good teams to come.
The first UTEP event I attended was the Sun Carnival tourney. Texas Tech, Arizona, and Michigan. Michigan came in ranked #2 in the nation. UTEP won.

Haskins was good at pulling off upsets. I'll never forget the game with Georgetown when they were a powerhouse! They were so good at the full court press and Haskins shredded it for easy layups.That was the game that showed Timbug that he could be a star.The first UTEP event I attended was the Sun Carnival tourney.

I am just curious as to why these 4 schools would be dumb enough to agree to this??I like my idea better with Texas Tech, NMSU, UNM and Utep. I think these 4 teams should do some kind of tourney once a year. And every year it rotates location. Instead of doing home and home schedules i think this would be better.
