Since the basketball starts today went to total Crap! Any thoughts on Uteps 1st D2 game today? On the road against what might be a decently tough test. We will learn a lot more about this team today.
 
UTEP opened as a 3.5 pt underdog, so if they win, technically it would be considered an upset. Obviously rebounding is a key. UV has a longer team that will give UTEP trouble on the boards. To counter, it will be interesting if Golding uses a lineup that includes a combination of big men, such as Kalu/Jones. On offense, the key is to play inside out as much as possible through Hamilton. Hopefully, Bynum, Horton, and, Barnes can make some shots.

This one scares me. Utah Valley will probably be a 20 win team this year and Utep an Golding hasn’t won these type games. Let’s hope today and this year is different!

Perhaps UV poses a challenge, however Golding HAS to win these types of games in year 4. I’ve remained patient with Golding, given him the benefit of the doubt looking at his slow but steady trajectory at ACU, but since the beginning I’ve said NCAA by end of year 4 and that ain’t changed. He’s gonna have to figure out how to overcome the deficiencies. That’s what a good coach does. It’s now or never for CJG.

Absolutely needs to win this!

I agree. This seems like Bradley last year, but like Fanático said these are the games Golding needs to be winning by now. This is his team and the players he brought in. This won’t be a cake walk but we these are the games tournament teams should win
 
Truly awful start, and once again it seems UTEP forgets how to score against Division I competition.

Golding called a timeout though, so let's see what types of adjustments he draws up.

This reminds me of the Loyola Marymount game from last season. The Miners just dug themselves a big hole in the 1st half and could never climb out.
 
We scored!

I understand that they are longer than we are, but that just means that we have to be fundamentally sound and block out. We can't let them get so may offensive boards.

Damn, I blinked on the football game and we're all tied. Our "wefense" gave up a kick return. Damn they suck.
 
I love to see us get fouled when taking a 3. We are on the other end of that so many times
 
Glancing at the football game, we were complaining earlier in the year that our ESPN+ football coverage didn't include down and distance on the screen. They've fixed that - sort of. Now, no matter where the team is on the field, it says "1st and goal," "2nd and goal," etc. Only at UTEP.
 
The football team almost has as many points as the basketball team, despite starting at the same time. We have been pathetic in this game

In the football game they took away the TD, and we just turned the ball over on downs. All of our teams suck.

I've watched enought of this disaster. Switching to the football game. And when we fall behind there I'll just turn off my TV and shoot a couple of games of pool or something. Have a drink and cigar. Anything but this shit.
