[EPUTEP]

UTEP is favorite by 3, but I don't see them winning because they had such a tough time with Norfolk State.

Wyoming 84
UTEP 72

I for the record I didn't get to see either game. However based on schedule Wyoming doesn't seem like they're much better than Norfolk.

San Antonio's own Brendan Wenzel, who had originally committed to UTEP before flipping to Utah is now on the Wyoming team. At the time I though we dodged a bullet with that kid, but I think we could use his shooting now.

 

[unihorn]

If we can just make some outside shots and FTs, foul less, and turn it over less…

 

[jdubb66]

We look so bad in the half court game. I wish CJG would just let them run. Open it up a bit.

 

[nattybry]

What happened to the team that played against UCSB and to an extent Cal. I understand coaches watch film and adjust, but I don't get why this team has lost that swag and aggressiveness?

 

[unihorn]

Our PG is not D1 level IMO.

 

[nattybry]

Our PG is not D1 level IMO.

I definitely think Powell is D1 talent, he's shown that here and at Buffalo. Problem is he's not a PG. That's on Golding not recruiting an immediate impact PG transfer. Powell is a 2 that can't shoot outside, but has elite athleticism. He can score a lot of different ways, but he's not a facilitator I don't think.

Elite athleticism? He’s a borderline klutz with the ball.

Eite athleticism sometimes doesn't translate to other intangibles needed to run point. I agreed he's not a point guard so sometimes he gets in trouble when handling the ball too much. Handles and elite athleticism are not all ways in the same bag of talent. If you haven't seen his athleticism than you haven't watched him at all this year. Even an untrained basketball eye can see that. I'd say him dunking over D-1 talent shows that pretty obviously. Idk if you played basketball, but I played with guys who had elite athleticism that could jump over you. However they sometimes either lacked handles, outside shooting or basketball IQ. So back to my point, Powell is very athletic and can score in a variety of ways, but doesn't have the handles or basketball IQ to play point guard at this level as you said. That's how I see it.

Ok, what does he do well besides dunk?

 

[JCorona]

I think all four teams in the tournament are pretty even. Wyoming had the tougher opponent to start the tournament. Another performance like last night and UTEP will see another team lift a trophy on our home court again.

Another great crowd on hand to watch this championship game tonight.

Apparently not. 19 point win for NSU.

The casual fan isn't going to pay $13 to see an average team play.

I stated yesterday I didn't think Wyoming was much better than Norfolk

And i thought you were being serious

 

[EPUTEP]

South Dakota State.

They were also favorite to beat Norfolk State today.

It's such a hard team to watch.

I started going less when they stopped letting Beer Man serve fresh limes.

 

[MinerManiac]

Nice looking play by Frasier, too bad it was a foul. That's going to hurt.

Expensive tickets. Bad schedule. Poor results. Boring offense. Shitty coach.

NSU = Norfolk State University

 

[MinerManiac]

Congrats to Hardy on reaching 1,000 points. Did they even announce it?

They did.

What’s not to like?

 

[MinerManiac]

I heard them announce it on the broadcast, I was asking if they announced it in the arena. They had a stoppage for Hebb's FTs, it seemed like a good time to give Hardy some well deserved love, but it didn't seem to happen.

 

[EPUTEP]

NSU = Norfolk State University

My mistake. 😂

 

[MinerManiac]

Also, no one's yet mentioned the Jones sighting

 

[MineroFanatico]

When is Hebb gonna hit one of those wide open 3s?!?

 

[MinerManiac]

Also, no one's yet mentioned the Jones sighting

Of course it ended up being very brief. :-(

 

[PickMyAxe915]

What’s not to like?

I'd pay tree fiddy

 

[MinerManiac]

Now Solomon with 2 fouls. Bring Jones back in. Please!

 

[dementiajoe]

Golding year 3 🤡💩

 

[MineroFanatico]

Here’s one of those infamous scoring droughts that have plagued CJG throughout his time at UTEP.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Dos Anjos!! Who knew?

So

Here’s one of those infamous scoring droughts that have plagued CJG throughout his time at UTEP.

These guys just don’t know how to put the ball in the basket.

 

[MinerManiac]

Whoa, Dos Anjos actually playing well
