  • OK, I guess I will kick this off.  I have to admit, my GAS meter is running a bit low (GAS=Give-A-Shit).  I think I'm a pretty hard core Miners basketball fan, and if I'm starting to get apathetic I can only imagine what the casual fan is feeling.

    Curiously, WKU lost at FAU and FIU as well.

    PErsonally I think the wheels have completely fallen off, so here goes:

    WKU 75
    UTEP 60

  • My initial thought was UTEP will lose by ten.  But, there is no rhyme or reason to the way Terry plays his team, unless it is trying to keep players happy and not trying to win.  But, even that is just wild guessing.  We are back home and that is usually worth 4 points to normal basketball teams.  I know that we aren't in any way normal, but it is as close as I can come to trying to put some logic on the outcome.  Teams have learned that if they can slow down or stop Williams they have done about all they need to do.  Someone may hit some random three pointers, but it won't be nearly enough to overcome the loss of Williams' 25 points, so make someone else beat you and the Miners can't.  Hobble the one trick pony and that is it, the show's over.

    68 to 63 any other team but the Miners

    Trust the process.

    Wow, are you sure you're saying that the Miners will win? You know you and I are neck and neck and this might hurt you. I'm just being the nice guy because well, I have four champeen rings already. Just saying.  8)

    No way am I sure, but I'll stick with the upset. I think.
