UTEP at Southern Miss MBB

[MineroFanatico]

😂 give them time to warm up. I still think we win by 10-15 points.

I still agree. Just kidding due to our slow and uninspired start. We do have moments of looking turrible, just turrible.

 

[MineroFanatico]

I'm actually pretty happy with the shots we are getting tonight. If we can get a higher percentage to fall we can win this one handily.

I agree. Shot selection has been good. Definitely taking it to the hole a lot more than usual. Just seems like nothing wants to drop. If we start making those shots, we’ll pull away pretty quickly I think.

 

[MinerManiac]

Wow, are we ice cold with some really good looks.

 

[JCorona]

We need a bit more intensity. USM looks hungry right now.

 

[MinerManiac]

We still can't make a shot, and our defense is now poor as well. Not a good combo.

 

[JCorona]

The ball wasn’t off Williams then he gets a foul on the other end.

 

[MinerManiac]

There is a lid on the basket for Bryson

 

[MinerManiac]

We got a lot of looks from in close and mid-range, and held the opponent to 28 points in the first half. You would typically expect to be up under that scenario, not trailing by 5.

 

[utep2step]

Poor shooting from the field.

Missing free throws.

Iso on Williams.

 

[Lil_Train]

Shooting is going to need to improve, or we are in trouble. Not finishing at the rim, and giving up too many extra possessions.

 

[axingfools1]

Our D has been tough. I like the rotation today, but missed layups and free throws killing us. We need to finish STRONG!

BW is being double teamed every time he touches the ball in the paint. He either needs to get the ball deeper or we need a cutter to the rim for a pass. Let's see if Terry can make the adjustment

 

[utep2step]

D is good. Shooting is bad.

Agree. The double team on BW was expected by USM. You have to give them some credit for their defensive effort, but we need to be more efficient in attacking the double team.

 

[axingfools1]

Do we even have any ally-oop plays? BW, Sjolund, Kennedy and Onyema can finish strong. Why not utilize their athleticism in the half court?

 

[axingfools1]

Bienemy needs to drive and pass forward or to the wing, not back out 30ft from the basket.

 

[MinerManiac]

A missed dunk. Typical for our shooting woes tonight. We've missed way too many shots at the rim.

 

[MinerManiac]

On both of Efe's shots the defender has flopped. I'm glad that the refs haven't fallen for it.

 

[axingfools1]

Nice by Bieniemy

 

[MinerManiac]

Hopefully that breaks the lid off of the basket for Bryson

 

[MinerManiac]

Nice job by Sjolund in the 2nd half

 

[MineroFanatico]

Is Agnew already in the doghouse? Only 7 minutes of pt so far. It’s not like he’d be “stealing” any minutes from Kennedy at this time.

 

[axingfools1]

Man our shooting is horrific today

 

[MineroFanatico]

Bieniemy is shooting well tonight. Over 50%, 6 of 11. He’s had good shot selection tonight.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Bienemy's best game so far, I think.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Bienemy's best game so far, I think.

7 assists to go along with his points.

 

[axingfools1]

Get the ball to Boum here

 

[MinerManiac]

What a horrible sequence. Careless with the ball on one end, giving up an offensive rebound on the other.

 

[axingfools1]

Bienemy's best game so far, I think.

2nd half for sure.

 

[axingfools1]

Get the ball to Boum here

OMG

 

[MinerManiac]

We look like we did last year down the stretch

 

[MineroFanatico]

We screened each other and opened up a wide lane for the easy layup. Wow!

 

[MinerManiac]

We need a good shot here

 

[JCorona]

Damn. Need to avoid the collapse. Score the game winner and go to bed.

 

[MineroFanatico]

That was a pitiful last possession.

I mean...

 

[Lil_Train]

Horrible!

 

[MinerManiac]

Did we ever suck the last minute and a half or so, just when it looked like we would win this game.

 

[JCorona]

Horrible execution on the last play.

 

[FarWestTexas]

Holy crap, this is atrocious coaching. RT needs some help ASAP, hire an AAU coach or something!

 

[MinerManiac]

We start OT like we finished regulation

 

[utep-piggy]

Those last 20 sec were an embarrassment. Not getting a last shot to win the game is indicative of piss poor coaching.
FIRE JIM SENTER!!
