WKU @ UTEP

[groundrounds]

It's beyond crunch time. Will the Miners right the ship and find the right formula?

The homer says:
WKU 60
Miners 66

This was supposed to be a big game. A sell out crowd, two teams at the top of their conference, and the mouthwatering Basey vs Williams matchup. We didn’t meet our end of the deal and Basey is hurt.

Not even sure what to expect today except the same old. It wouldn't suprise me if we win by 2 or lose by 15.

[MinerManiac]

Tarke gets the start. I would prefer Efe, but it's better than Vila.

 

[MinerManiac]

Nice offensive rebounding on that initial possession

 

[Minerinciter]

Opening line according to vegasinsider.com:
WKU -2
UTEP (136u), has not changed since.

[MinerManiac]

We can't let this score get away from us already

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

Wow. About 1,300 people are watching this CUSA game for free on Facebook. Can’t believe ESPN doesn’t want to televise it!!!

 

[MinerManiac]

Again, pass the ball around too much, then take a desperation 3

 

[FeralFelidae]

Hilltoppers are shooting over 55% from both two and three! Where's our defense?

 

[MinerManiac]

Boum 0-3 at the line?

 

[FeralFelidae]

The Miners belong in the bottom pod. I don't know how it happened, but it happened.

How were we all so fooled?

 

[MinerManiac]

Why can't Terry see that we have players that have no business taking a 3, especially early in the shot clock? I love Tarke's and Stroud's athleticism, but they have no business shooting behind the line.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Boum 0-3 at the line?

But still our leading scorer so far!

 

[MinerManiac]

As I was saying ...

It has about as much energy as a 1:00 Thanksgiving tournament game.

 

[MinerManiac]

1-12 from 3. And we keep shooting them

 

[MinerManiac]

Nice jam by Stroud!

 

[EastCoastMiner17]

This is painful. Guys have checked out.

 

[Lil_Train]

Nice run.

 

[FeralFelidae]

This is painful. Guys have checked out.

I thought so too, but not yet. I'm glad to be wrong.

Still an uphill battle, though. It's always an uphill battle.

 

[JCorona]

Not bad. As long as the second half doesn’t turn into a repeat of the last home game we should have a chance to beat them.

 

[groundrounds]

I'm liking this line up. Bad start but everyone is warming up towards the half. Playing with purpose!

 

[Minerinciter]

 

[MinerManiac]

@#^@ kids! I'm watching the Miners suck, falling behind by 13, when I get a text that my son's ready for me to pick him up from his girlfriend's dance performance. By the time I get my shoes on, grab the keys, and connect the 600 app to my vehicle's bluetooth, I'm hearing Teich call the last few plays of a 12-0 run. And I missed it!

 

[MinerManiac]

Nice by Boum!

 

[MinerManiac]

We play so much better in transition

 

[MinerManiac]

Stupid foul by Edwards

 

[MinerManiac]

We take the lead, then start one of our patented scoring droughts

Bad turnovers and more missed threes.

 

[MinerManiac]

Another missed ft from Boum

 

[NY/NJminer]

Well, at least the Rage Against the Machine concert at the Don will be good next month. Anyone get tickets today?

 

[FeralFelidae]

It's the home court. Now is when the team just needs to take over this game and put it away.

 

[JCorona]

We need this ft

 

[Minerinciter]

[MinerManiac]

We need stops and buckets

 

[MinerManiac]

We miss the three, they hit one. Instead of being up 2 we're down 4. I've seen this way too often this season.

 

[FeralFelidae]

Looking like another heartbreaker!

 

[MinerManiac]

Another game that we had a chance to win that we're going to lose. Damn, this is tiring.
