UTEP at ODU

[axingfools1]

Predictions:
Terry has no game plan.
Vila starts and plays 30 minutes and gets blown up in the paint and scores 2 points.
Efe plays sparingly.
Tydus comes in for 2 minutes so Bryson doesnt foul.
Stroud sits the whole game.
Tarke claps from the bench.
Williams gets in foul trouble and we are out rebounded by 15.
Lathon and Hawkins combine for 5 assists
We shoot 25 3s and 10 freethrows
We shoot 20% from 3 and 80% from the line
We have two 3 minute plus scoring droughts including the last 5 minutes of the game.

ODU by 10. No need to watch the game.

 

[Autograph Boy]

Both team aren't good.

Going to say we win this game.

UTEP 75
ODU 73

 

[NewYorkCityMiner]

We go into halftime with the lead, then we will fall apart in the 2nd half and lose.

 

[STexMiner]

Wow Mr. Optimism. Vila with 2 points? Only 2 droughts and only for 3 minutes? Check your enthusiasm.

Wish my family was taking me out to dinner and a movie tonight.

Mine too

Miners will win, ODU sucks. Rodney Terry is the best coach ever at UTEP. I hope he doesn’t leave for UT next season!

 

[Minerinciter]

UTEP (124u)----> (126.5 - 128)

I think axingfools is stating the facts. That’s what we have seen pretty much all year. He forgot to mention that we commit 15 turnovers

Oh and also 1 technical foul

 

[groundrounds]

Or, as we saw last Thursday, we start strong with a chance to win at the end, but we didn't use our bench enough and ran out of gas at the end.

And one dumb T for taunting when we are behind by three

After being down by 20 and clawing our way back into the game...

 

[MineroFanatico]

Vila with two soft fouls on made buckets 3 minutes in. Just can’t rag on this guy’s lack of ability enough. WTF does Terry see in this kid?

Hopefully he will sit the rest of the half

 

[MineroFanatico]

It’s been a minute (as kids use the term these days) since Williams has hit a 3.

Hasn’t even been close on his last 4 or 5 attempts.

Yes, his 3 point shooting has really dipped in conference.

Nobody is impervious to the curse.

 

[FeralFelidae]

How do you come out of the timeout and NOT know how much time is on the shot clock?

 

[FeralFelidae]

Loved the hustle from Lathon with the near-steal there.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Efe...our new 3 point threat.

 

[Lil_Train]

Wow, team had no clue the shot clock was running out. Not a smart team, and worse coaching.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Efe's really giving us a spark.

That means it's time to bench him for Vila.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Wow, team had no clue the shot clock was running out. Not a smart team, and worse coaching.

No excuse for that. Happens with regularity, too.

 

[JCorona]

Does ODU always look like unc or is this just a promotion for tonight’s game?

 

[FeralFelidae]

Hmm, Stroud RIGHT at the edge of the restricted area, refs decide he was blocking instead of calling the charge. I like the effort, though; he was right on the line.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Aside from a couple of careless turnovers, Lathon’s court vision has been excellent. Finding guys across the court. That’s good to see.

 

[MINER.JAY]

I don’t see Hawkins there at all right now, meaning not even on the bench. Anyone have any news on this? Btw, I’m liking what Lathon has done so far, maybe not having Hawkins there on his back has helped his confidence??

 

[UTEPDefense]

Every single team now immediately doubles Williams when he catches the ball on the post.......and yet every single game, we look like it’s the first time we have ever seen this double team.

When is Terry going to put in some type of play/set/motion/adjustment that our team will immediately go to each time, in order to take advantage of when Williams is doubled?

Was wondering the same thing.

 

[Lil_Train]

Turnovers again

 

[MINER.JAY]

Was wondering the same thing.

It’s definitely questionable. I’ve always liked Lathon’s attitude to Hawkins myself

 

[OsoFromELP]

Steve Yellen no longer does road games alongside John Teicher? Another Jim Senter cost cutting casualty?

 

[Lil_Train]

Saw Hawkins on the bench.

 

[MineroFanatico]

4 Miners just stood around and watched the ODU guard get his own rebound from and stuff it home for an easy deuce. Gawd dammit!

 

[FeralFelidae]

11 turnovers and the half's not over.

 

[UTEPDefense]

Very solid crowd for ODU. One of the few CUSA teams that actually has a fan base. Nice to see.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Ball goes off ODU player's head out of bounds. All the Miners tell the refs that it went off his head. Refs don't care, give the ball to ODU, they hit a 3.

Great.

 

[Lil_Train]

Turnovers, and no answer for the zone defense. Feels like this is the first game of the season. Just doesn't get better.

 

[OsoFromELP]

Is it football season yet? Not that it’s any better. Just want this season to be over with, and the usual mass exodus of transfer players to follow. Ready for Chihuahuas baseball to begin.
