UTEP vs Seattle U

Beating a middling WAC team at home is a surprise? Expectations at rock bottom!
Hey hey it’s a q3 team. You know how difficult it is for UTEP to beat a team outside the q4. This win would be huuuge!!!!
I expect UTEP to beat “most” teams at home. Exceptions are Power conference, Top 25 teams, and conference championship caliber teams. Seattle isn’t any of those.
If beating a middling WAC team is surprising to you in the coach’s 3rd year, what are we doing???
I expect UTEP to beat Seattle, but I won’t be surprised at all if they lose.
Yeah, my bad. Could be a huge win for the team. Definitely will be a marquee win in Senter’s eyes. Extension maybe?
They took a pretty good Washington squad into 2OT. Wouldn’t be surprised if Seattle pulls it off
They’re a fine team and respectable opponent. That doesn’t mean that UTEP should be losing to them at home.
UTEP shouldn’t lose to a team like this at home, but they had a rough loss at home last month. Really hoping they’ve turned the corner after the Wyoming win
I hope so, but I doubt it. I don't think this is a good team. Of course, we need to see them play on the road more.
I watched part of the SU/Washington game to get a feel for their team.
They've got a great point guard. That'll probably limit ZP's contribution because he'll most likely have to guard him.
They have bigs who can shoot the 3 consistently. Their Bigs are going to be a matchup nightmare. I assume every player we have over 6'7" will see some minutes, including Big Ham.
They are great from the line.
In their losses, SU has been really close at the end and pushed Washington to 2 OTs. But that sounds like UTEP last year. This year the Miners are closing out some games they would have lost a year ago.
SU is 0-3 on the road.
Put all of those facts into a blender and you'll come up with a lump of Kryptonite. We should lose this one.
If we win it'll be a great springboard into conference play. If we lose it'll be what was expected.
I'm a homer and never bet against the Miners. Defense and depth can win this game.

Do you guys remember that in '66 Seattle was our "only" loss? Kentucky and TWC were both unbeaten and lost on the same day.
Although I agree with what you’re saying, we are not that team. Seems like most expectations have us losing so winning would be a decent surprise. Shouldn’t be, but would be unfortunately. It’s just where we’re at right now. I do think they pull it off at home myself but going to be closer than what you’re guessing in my opinion. I like the way they battled in the tourney and think they continue with that grit and get the win.
Utep takes the lid off the basket from 3 finally and gets 18+ turnovers
Miners 78
Sleepless in Seattle 73

I think we catch them flat footed and our depth takes over. Miners 72 Seattle 65
What good is our depth when none of our players can shoot?
Terrible attendance. Who scheduled a game during a Cowboys game? You would think UTEP learned lessons by now. If we're going to do this, we better have a damn good basketball team.
Of course we do! We have a bench full of players who can't shoot, but play a lot.
Oh okay so what you're saying is our roster is full of players that should be coming off the bench?
No, just another lame excuse. If UTEP had a team that won games and wasn’t boring AF, they could get more fans.
The problem is UTEP and Jim Senter, not the Cowboys and fans not going.
Nah, I'd like at least some of the guys on the bench to be able to shoot! We have a bench that replicates the ineptitude of our starters, though, which for us is depth.
This is a WAC/CUSA partnership game. They might not have had a say on the date.
The next home game could be a Cowboys game as well.
Jones gave us 5 quick points, of course he's back on the bench. Camper just gave us 5 quick points. Will he be seeing pine soon? We can't, of course, have scorers from the bench stay on the floor
We all know EP is a Cowboys market. There are absolutely some people that stayed home instead of going to UTEP. How much of a difference is unknown but it did make a difference.
