UTEP vs FIU

[Cube Jack]

The main thing I am worried about in this game is a let down down after the big win Thursday. Maybe attendance will be up with the team on a winning streak?

UTEP 77
Fifi 61
Attendance 4,980

 

[UTEPfan1966]

UTEP 80
FIU 63
attendance 5300 with no football

 

[MineroFanatico]

77-64 Miners.

5902. Maybe a few more folks on the bandwagon with our 4 game winning streak?!

[Hollywoodminer]

just win

 

[FiliUTEP]

dang UAB losing to Marshall.

 

[MinerManiac]

I guess to avoid confusion we'll just use this as the game thread.

Sibley is obviously doing better, he's back in the starting lineup tonight.

 

[MinerManiac]

Both FIU buckets so far have been off of offensive boards. Somethings never change - unfortunately

 

[MinerManiac]

Hollins seems to be feeling good after last game's heroics

Very good

 

[MinerManiac]

So far we are living off of the three. Hopefully they keep falling, otherwise we're in trouble

 

[MinerManiac]

Finally attacked the basket, got a couple of free throws

Attacked it again, and Tydus is going to the line for two more free throws. Hopefully we'll continue to mix it up on offense

 

[MinerManiac]

Two consecutive turnovers. Ugh

 

[MinerManiac]

Nice hustle by Tydus

 

[MinerManiac]

We are giving up way to many layups

 

[MinerManiac]

I would love to see this team if we had good inside scorers and could rebound our defensive board.

 

[MinerManiac]

Finally able easy bucket for us.

And am I the only one watching this game?

 

[MinerManiac]

We got an offensive rebound! Nice put back by Tydus

 

[Minerinciter]

Will there be a game on Thursday in Denton?

 

[Lil_Train]

Finally able easy bucket for us.

And am I the only one watching this game?

I'm watching Maniac. Again, rebounding is a problem, and an inability to get to the freethrow line. There's no way we can win on the road with those two deficiencies. Let's see if we can pull this one out this half.

 

[MinerManiac]

Damn Saterfield finally got an open shot - and missed it

 

[MinerManiac]

Saterfield 0-3 from 3 so far

 

[Lil_Train]

Saterfield 0-3 from 3 so far

Yep. Can't find his rhythm. Both Florida schools have done a good job defending him.

 

[MinerManiac]

Weak call against Onyema

Weak call against Onyema

Fighting for position down low is an offensive foul now. Man I miss the good old days.

Just thinking the same thing. Crazy how soft the officials have evolved into.

 

[MinerManiac]

Crazy shot by Boum. A prayer was answered

 

[MinerManiac]

More pathetic tic-tac-toe by the losing contestant

 

[MinerManiac]

Finally the Miners had a multi-opportunity possession. Nice finish by Boum. Then a nice dunk by Tydus

 

[NY/NJminer]

Verhoeven seems to be getting better and playing with more confidence

 

[MinerManiac]

We had been on a nice defensive run - then we gave up two easy ones in a row

 

[Lil_Train]

The little guard from FIU is tough to stay in front of. Good player for his size.

 

[Lil_Train]

Sibley getting worked inside all night. Really needs to get stronger.

 

[MinerManiac]

Boum passed three great ones on the all time scoring list tonight - Fred Reynolds, Charlie Brown, and Juden Smith

 

[MinerManiac]

Boum has played fantastic during this home stand

 

[Lil_Train]

Boum has played fantastic during this home stand

On both ends.

 

[MinerManiac]

Way to beat the press

 

[MinerManiac]

And 1 for Tydus, making up for missing that last shot - except he missed the FT
