OPT; UTEP v Southern Belle 1-8

  • Miners take this one

    64-60

    Both teams are capable of not being able to break 50, but since they are playing each other, it is kind of a fair fight. 

    On another note, I am joyfully hopeful today.  I saw Tydus dunk last night.  He can do it!  And it was so exciting for him and the other Miners, too!  I hope they realize that they could do that a lot more, although I watched them miss chances to do it again, but they went with the brick from beyond the arc. Maybe coach can show film of it and teach them to do it again.  I am going to cross my fingers and hope, but I have little faith.

    If only there was another outcome besides winning and losing.  I think we could really be in the running for First Place in Most Annoying.  All of that effort can be really annoying for a good team.  Just when they are about to score, we steal the ball and run down to the other end and throw up a clangger and they have to start all over.

    I thought we contained Loften pretty well. Verho played his ass off while Onyema looked impressive.
    The only man scoring the ball was JB. If our scoring from our designated scorers was average, we might have won the thing.
      "He who has nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature & has no chance of being free unless kept so by better men than himself.

    That's the plan for opposing coaches, stop JB and no one scores.

    We need people that will shoot shots other than just three pointers.

  • UTEP will win by about 10 points:

    UTEP    74

    So. Miss  62

    It'll be a case of neither team being able to stop the other. Yes, we're that bad.

    If the rest had been hitting their shots JB wouldn?t have scored 28 points I am afraid. But I do agree that if our players could shot consistently we could win and if ifs and buts we?re candy and nuts?and if bullfrogs had wings they wouldn?t scrape their bellies when they jumped.

  • Dang, I think I won this won, (did you see what I did there?). I thought I was being conservative but 33 point win? That is outstanding. Poor So Miss they got hit by a semi.
