UTEP-FIU
- Thread starter miner1liner
- Start date
Does anyone else remember the aTm CC game? We went up by 20 in the 2nd half, looked like we were cruising to an easy win, then started playing like, well, like we are now, and it went down to the wire. This is really starting to remind me of that game.
Turnovers by the second team sparked the comeback. Very poor execution.
What a lob to and throw down by Frasier!
In the words of Steve Yellen, “WOW!!!”. What a connection between Givance and Frazier.
Nice to see the Miners finally get an easy win
Really nice game from Givance. He's starting to play like we thought he would.
Givance giveth nice lobs. He’s really come around. Got me wishing we had him for another year.
My fingernails still intact kinda a game. Wow.
He also made the big three to stem the tide. This could have gone the way of Texas-CC. Needs to bring it again on Saturday. FAU has excellent guards.
I know the competition wasn’t the best, but this maybe our most complete game of the season. I really liked our defense, shot selection, rebounding and high energy. Let’s hope we get a great crowd for the FAU game.
Good to see UTEP having fun in a game for once.

Man if we could dominate the offensive boards like this (3 to 1 advantage) every game, we could go on a run.
57% from the field. 🔥
35% from 3.
65% from the stripe.
35-19 rebounding edge.
12 offensive boards.
16 assists. Moving the ball around.
All really good stats (for us). Hope we didn’t spend all our money on this game.

I'm sure FIU's Jekyll and Hyde home and away performance played in our favor, but we'll take it. This was a quiz the test is Saturday.
Double double. 15 points and 10 assists. Shot 50% from the field. 50% from 3. And 4-4 from the line.
Nice stat line.
I was going to ask who was the last guy to have a double-double for us, like it was a long time ago, but I'm sure Boum had at least one, right?
Boum had a freaking triple-double.
He's got a remarkable fg%. Wonder why he doesn't get more playing time. Guess Golding doesn't like him D. Without looking i brt his 3pt % is well over 50.
Yeah, he had a trip doub.
Golding left him on the floor. I think it was Sibley who knocked a shot down in the last few seconds to give Boum his 10th assist.
I wish I could be at The Don Saturday. This is the game of the year for us. Based on results of each team so far, I truly feel we can knock em off. We are undoubtedly getting better in all aspects of the game. I'm feeling much better now.
OK...I went back and checked. Not much happened in his early games, but in the last four he has averaged about 11 1/2 minutes with 11 of 14 overall fg's (78%) and 6 of 8 3pt fans (75%).
Is he in the same boat that Satterfield was in last year where we discovered that he was merely a catch and shoot player & contributed nothing else? I asked the same questions about his limited PT and he absolutely had nothing the last part of the season.
I hope Dos Anjos doesn't fade away too.
Missed the game since I had a soccer game at the same time. The post game beers with my buddies tasted better knowing we won by 20.
I didn’t see him so I don’t know for sure. I do know he transferred in already, so probably.
Yes, Jones is already on campus and practicing with team. He will have 4 years to play.
I hope Sibley stays. I think he has a high ceiling. We dont need 3 centers in the same class. Hamilton is skilled, but I dont see much opportunity for him behind Z and Kalu

Didn’t he already use his one time transfer wavier? I think he would have to sit out a year or drop division if he wants to transfer and play right away.
Yep. Heck, even Z and Kalu may be fighting for PT against certain teams. I actually like when Golding goes to the small lineup posting up McKinney and Frazier on offense.
Man I don't even know anymore. Seems like a free for all. I thought he came from JC?.
