Gonna be a tough game. It's time to win one we shouldn't. Anybody know the line?

[FeralFelidae]

Just don't let the opponent score the first 12 points and there should be a chance.

 

[MineroFanatico]

The Miners are best when climbing out of a hole. They just don’t seem to know what to do once out of that hole.

Anyone going to Denton today?

[Hollywoodminer]

hard to predict this score. its the missed 3's that sinks them every-time. Make at least 10 3's and we win by 5.
lets hope for the win.

Green Meanies 60

Instead of green meanies: how about green weenies?

Here!

Grievance and Hardy not starting?

 

[FeralFelidae]

UTEP still sucks at shooting.

 

[mikesarabia]

UTEP still sucks at shooting.

And not playing smart!!

 

[SAMINERGIRL]

Grievance and Hardy not starting?

Maybe we’re taking the FAU approach and having our best guards come off of the bench?? We will see what Golding says post game.

 

[TxRdKiller]

Lemus seems to get off to a pretty good start. Riding the bench now though and we're doing nothing.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Nice little 4-0 run here!

 

[FeralFelidae]

ESPN+ announcers saying that Solomon has 4 fouls, but the ESPN box score shows that he has 2. I sure hope the box score is correct.

UTEPs shooting and TOs at it again.

 

[MinerFan79]

Boring boring boring game

 

[develman]

UTEPs shooting and TOs at it again.

At least we're rebounding well, that keeping us in the game. But we need 1 hot hand from someone, anyone.

 

[FedupMiner]

We are lucky that UNT is missing a lot of easy shots which is keeping this game closer than it should.

 

[MinerManiac]

I do love the way this team hustles and hits the boards, as well as their mental toughness. If only we had an ounce of offensive talent.

 

[MinerManiac]

Every time we get close we might mistakes on offense and they hit enough shots to build a bit of a lead again. Not a big lead, mind you, but in this game, where buckets come at a premium, any lead can be significant

 

[mikesarabia]

It doesn’t help that the refs are calling everything against the Miners.

 

[MinerManiac]

Givance with 4 is worrisome. Not that he's played great very often, but we look even worse without him

 

[Lil_Train]

Refs sure make it tough to defend Perry. Alot of soft calls.

 

[MinerManiac]

An air ball from 3. UTEP must be playing

 

[MinerManiac]

Fouled a 3 point shooter AGAIN!

 

[MikePatrick915]

Where’s sibley ?

 

[Lil_Train]

Just can't score in the halfcourt. Givance has missed a ton of open shots. Hardy has missed a bunch of well defended ones. End result is the same.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Close game suddenly explodes into a blowout.

 

[mikesarabia]

Game over! Same issues, turnovers and not playing smart!

 

[FedupMiner]

You aren’t going to win many games scoring 36 points with 2:42 left in the game. Pathetic.

 

[MinerManiac]

That's ball game. Have I seen teams come back from a dozen down with over 2.5 minutes to go. Do I think that this UTEP team can even score a dozen more points the rest of the way? No.

 

[MinerManiac]

If you play good enough defense to hold your opponent to 52 points, you shouldn't lose, let alone by double digits
