I figured the 'CUSA Basketball Tournament' thread could be for all other games not UTEP, and that tonight's game could use it's own thread.
Our two top scorers had off night's shooting, going 12 of 36, last time we played ODU. Saterfield went 3 of 9. We only made 16 of 27 from the line. And, as someone mentioned in another thread, we didn't have Kennedy. We won the turnover battle 15-4.
The Monarchs, on the other hand, went to the line 47 times, making more than we even took. However, they had a worse shooting night than we did, going 1 of 15 from deep and shooting only 31.5% from the field overall. A glaring stat that kept them in the game was 52-36 rebounding edge.
I expect that we'll shoot more efficiently tonight, however I expect the same from them. I expect that we'll close the rebounding gap a bit and win the turnover battle as well. I'm thinking a 5-6 point win.
UTEP - 76
ODU - 71
