UTEP at Liberty

[Rocketsr]

It was a great win regardless of how we look at anything else. Tough win on the road, and a step in the right direction especially after the terrible game with NMSU.

We just don't know what we get out of this team. Do they have the talent to win the CUSA tournament, and just at times don't play to that potential? Is it bad coaching at times? I don't know how to pin point it.

Let's just hope they continue this kind of play, because they have a tendency to play down to their competition as well. I am hoping that this is a turning point, and that they win the games they are supposed to. I can live with that.

Haskins always said you have to win at home and split on the road. In this case they need to beat FIU because Liberty was the tough one on the road. Kudos to a great win.

Oh yeah ? Good call there

I am glad that I am wrong. But you have to admit, lately this has not been the case. Like I said earlier, it is the long term not the short term. The Miners are not a good bet. Now let's hope that changes, but I am still not confident in betting on them until they can put a string of games together and truly make me believe that they have changed.

I have told you, I would love for this to change, but one bets with his mind not his heart. I am the same as you and hope that both of these can be united one day as we turn the corner.

Golding managed to wrangle the team and not let it go off the rails. I am surprised and glad to be wrong on my prediction. Let's keep it going, one game at a time.

Yup. Glad to eat me words.

ICYMI, a lot of mid major down to the wire action last night as analysts and content creators were all over it, including UTEP v Liberty. Good to see mids getting all the love last night for once.

Speaking of mid majors, Oregon State neat Gonzaga. Are the Beavers considered a mid for now?

It was an upset win for OSU, but I believe they are now a mid major team.

BTW, listening to the post game show on ESPN600, one stat they mentioned stood out (not confirmed), UTEP in the paint layups, dunks, etc.., was fifty percent. So half of their easy buckets were missed. They pointed to missed dunks by UTEP. (I missed the game for prior commitments so I didn't see them).

Ouch!!

Heard this hilarious doozy last night.

It was a huge win for them. Good record, sellout crowd at home against a perennial winner and in state rival.
