No bueno. Will take a miracle now.
I caught this starting early in the 4th set, been watching since. Whatever mojo we had in the first two sets seems to have stated leaking away in the third. Now this thing is over.
Tough loss after being up 2-0, but great, great season by the Miners. Congrats again on your first ever NCAA Tournament. Taking it to five sets shows that you represented yourselves and your school well. Let's get back here next year and win a few of these matches.
Game over. OU comes back for the win. Had a great chance to win. Still a great season.
I'm always sad to see the Miners lose, but they had a great season, and were more than competitive in this match against a favored OU team. I'm disappointed in the loss, but proud of the team.
Started strong but we were ass in the final 3 sets. Meh. Great season for our Miners. Ladies did well.
Great season, Miners. OU will make a quick exit in the next game, playing the overall #1 in Pitt.
UTEP needs to improve its volleyball recruiting and recruit better players in order to advance deeper in next year's NCAA Tournament.
Reading the comments and outside of the a$$hate Kane, let’s not forget this is the FIRST TIME at the NCAA tournament. Not a bad showing.
If Coach Wallis was able to get better recruits from the NIVL (whatever it’s called) imagine now since we made an appearance

Inexperience of closing the deal in that situation. Now we know which is helpful.
First the loss in the conference tournament to NMSU and now being up 2-0 and losing in the NCAA tournament. This season made history but the last two matches hurt
Congrats to Wallis and the team on a great season. After the last two matches, we need to remind ourselves what Wallis has built. He's built a historically bad program into a team that received an at-large bid this year. UTEP needs to give Wallis another raise and figure out a way to keep him around if possible. He made us pay attention to volleyball. He built a team that truly, as Senter says, "competes for championships." Let's do even better next year. Go Miners!

I actually thought OU was the one that started out a bit shaky the first couple of sets; and UTEP was poised and minimized unforced errors. The match started getting away from UTEP when they began making some unforced errors. That said, OU does have a couple of All-SEC type players, and Shelton, in particular, was outstanding.
Wallis (assuming he returns after signing a two year contract extension), has alot of players coming back, and can hopefully continue to improve the team. Finding a way to beat WKU, has to be at the top of the list. Of course, none of this takes away from the great season this group just had. Very special group of athletes.

Well, we were 22-0 when leading by 2 sets this season. So...
Reminds me of Barbee's last team. Hopefully Wallis stays
