From both the SoCal Challenge website and the UTEP Athletics website I see the slightly different time of 10:30 PM MST, which is still insane. I'm off that week, but still trying to decide if it's worth it to stay up until the wee hours watching the game.SoCal Challenge will be televised by CBSSN
Cal game on at 11PM MT on Monday
Consolation game on at 830PM MT
Championship game on at 11PM MT on Wednesday
I know where they keep the monkeys locked up. I will let them know it's time to pund the keyboards!From both the SoCal Challenge website and the UTEP Athletics website I see the slightly different time of 10:30 PM MST, which is still insane.

Oh, and when is the UTEP Athletics website going to add broadcast info to their schedule? Don't they think that with only 12 days until the season starts that they've waited long enough?
Well the first game starts at 830, so there would be a 30 minute buffer in between games. It will definitely be close to 11 than 1030.From both the SoCal Challenge website and the UTEP Athletics website I see the slightly different time of 10:30 PM MST, which is still insane.

I wish my father had those connections lolAccording to @utepzay, Chicago State (307 RPI) is a quality opponent. I am not sure how the heck this moron got a job working in sports, but it's safe to say his daddy has connections.
Zay, don’t listen to anyone, not even me, on this site. If you want fair empirical analysis then maniac is your go to fan. Your work is public as compared to most paid or volunteer staff who have a manager and a small handful of peers/colleagues. You love the Miners and that’s all that matters.I wish my father had those connections lol

OhSo call up the NCAA. I'm sure nobody has thought to check if they are eligible.
I'm sure Chicago State didn't check before they announced it.
They are on their roster.

How come it’s ok for Gonzaga to schedule them and not UTEP?No, posting hogwash is not the answer.
You’re not very smart and totally unaware. Chicago St gets 200 fans a game and plays most of its game on the road. You obviously missed the thing I just posted, stated those guys are ineligible.How come it’s ok for Gonzaga to schedule them and not UTEP?
Is this a home & home? Because next year they have 2 five star studs who should be eligible.
UTEP can add whoever they want to the schedule. Put Montwood on there for all I care. My only request is that everyone be straightforward about what it is. Here’s what Gonzaga press said about the addition of Chicago St.You’re not very smart and totally unaware. Chicago St gets 200 fans a game and plays most of its game on the road. You obviously missed the thing I just posted, stated those guys are ineligible.
Gonzaga can schedule them because when they played them last season, they also scheduled Texas, Michigan St, Kentucky, Baylor, Washington, and Alabama. Then played Purdue and Xavier in a MTE.
You have no clue!
Yup. Totally agree. Zags OOC was brutal. top major schools don't even schedule seasons that tough.UTEP can add whoever they want to the schedule. Put Montwood on there for all I care. My only request is that everyone be straightforward about what it is. Here’s what Gonzaga press said about the addition of Chicago St.
“While many Gonzaga fans will shake their head at a team like this getting added to the slate, it’s worth pointing out that the Zags not only have a ridiculously loaded non-conference schedule at the top – including Baylor, Kentucky, Texas, Alabama, Michigan State, and the PK85 – but mid-tier games against programs like UW, Kent State, and Northern Illinois are better than many of the opponents we have seen Mark Few schedule in the past.
So a gimme game against Chicago State – a team that needs to find a way to fill out an entire schedule this season – seems totally reasonable as a tune-up before the WCC Tournament, assuming that’s when the game ends up taking place.”
Well, I don’t totally agree with your first statement. UTEP should be scheduling better opponents as a whole.UTEP can add whoever they want to the schedule. Put Montwood on there for all I care.

2024 at-large Chicago State could be a thing next season. At least, we can all hope.www.midmajormadness.com
The Zay has made his way to the official TEP message board lolI wish my father had those connections lol
Not really bud I definitely just worded the tweet poorly lolSo you don't have any answers? What do you do to promote UTEP? How can you say a team with an RPI in the 300's is a "quality opponent"?
Not really bud I definitely just worded the tweet poorly lol
At some point, isn't it cheaper and more efficient to just play Fili and his team at the local Y? Hell, might even be more challenging.
Don't get his hopes up.At some point, isn't it cheaper and more efficient to just play Fili and his team at the local Y? Hell, might even be more challenging.
Yeah I believe the Men's part of the schedule starts Monday lolDid UTEP schedule any Men's teams this year?
Cool. Too bad Golding couldn't get another forward.
Why do you say that? He has one more recruit still...Cool. Too bad Golding couldn't get another forward.
Ok let me add the 'yet' at the end.Why do you say that? He has one more recruit still...
Let's be fair: don't expect an impact player this late.Ok let me add the 'yet' at the end.
LMAO. Bronzeing was saying on the interview with Broadous, that it was a “big tournament” with “some really good teams”.
I thought UTEP was going to be in another tournament like in the Bahamas. Are we sure he wasn't speaking of that one?LMAO. Bronzeing was saying on the interview with Broadous, that it was a “big tournament” with “some really good teams”.
SJSU went 9-23
UNCG won 21 games, but didn’t play in any postseason. They lost 72-37 to the Terryhorns!
LBSU went to the NCAAs, but was a 15 seed who got hot after their coach was fired.
This coach is a joke, calling this a “big tournament”.
Yes, we’re sure. He specifically said Las Vegas during Thanksgiving and you can’t play in 2 MTEs in the same season.I thought UTEP was going to be in another tournament like in the Bahamas. Are we sure he wasn't speaking of that one?
Gotcha, it's not God Awful, but it's definitely not impressive at all.Yes, we’re sure. He specifically said Las Vegas during Thanksgiving and you can’t play in 2 MTEs in the same season.
UTEP is probably unwilling to finish 1-2 or 0-3 in them anymore. Gotta load up on unimpressive wins over D2s!I wonder why we can't get into those tournaments that Floyd and Barbee got us in anymore. I guess we've just fallen so far that this is the best we can do now. Long Beach is always a tough team.
Agreed. I don’t have an issue with the actual tournament. I do have an issue with the constant hyperbolic statements “UTEP” has been saying. This is in a no way a “big tournament”. Freaking joke. He could have just said “we’re playing in a Vegas MTE during Thanksgiving”. Instead, he tries to hype it up, knowing Duke, UCLA, and Nevada weren’t playing in it.Gotcha, it's not God Awful, but it's definitely not impressive at all.
