OPT -- UTEP vs Rice

[SisyphusMiner]

75 - 68 us.   

Rice appears to be all about shooting the 3 and they have some players that do it very well.  Olivari is a very good shooter.  Their leading assist man is their 6-10 center, so I gather they play it inside out.  They have no quality wins, so we will just have to see which Miner's team shows up.

72-65 UTEP

What came out of a Chinaman's ass? Rice. That was for you, Rabbit.
Rice can really move & shoot, but they can't defend. They are trying to be like Marshall. If our perimeter defense plays like we have in the past, we should be fine. If another perfect storm hits us with poor decision making & missing easy shots, then it will be another long night.

I see what you're doing there Ky. You figure that if Chans is always so close it would behoove you to be close to him too. Tsk, but it's a smart move. I'm also jealous Chans has taken a few titles away from me so I'm gonna go the Chinese way and reverse technology on him aka copycatting.

My scores:

UTEP    74

Arroz con leche  63

Actually I have just kind of adjusting my scores. Maybe why I am always late.

This makes me think!  And knowing Mojo is always being so sneaky, I am going to alter his system a bit.

UTEP 47
Rice 36

Hah!  Bet you wish you thought of this, eh?  Eh?

See now, that's how a math professor breaks it down.  And he makes UTEP's score a prime number.  There's just no arguing with hard math like that.

AH!  This gives me a better idea!  I am going to change my prediction.

UTEP 47
Rice 43

See, 43 and 47 are consecutive prime numbers AND 43 x 47 = 2021! 

Thanks, Sis!

Math has never been my best subject and I'm jealous of those who are really good at it. Afterall, it's those kind of people that build most everything. Me? If I can fix a little something around the house I cry hallelujah and brag about it but those are far and few. I do improve on things though and have been copied by others so it's like it's said, "imitation is the highest form of flattery".
