UTEP (1/3/16)

[CMJ]

The Range isn't available online anymore and KNTU is covering the Ladies game.  So....how are we doing?

Last I checked the score it was 20-17, UTEP up. 

[THOR]

Miners up 6...

[Andrew]

Down 6 but Reese is 0-7. If we hit a couple we would have a game....

[THOR]

8 point lead for utep...3:50 left in the first

 

And they still suck balls at the free throw line...1-7

Well, KNTU will join the Mens game in progress when this is over, so that's something.

[Bullyballer]

Did I just hear the commentator say, "I love when a guy, like J-Michael Reese, can go 0 for 9, and still have the confidence to shoot it"?

[CMJ]

Women's game just ended...I can now listen to the guys.

 

UTEP 41-31 at the half.

We did not need that 2nd Deckie foul. He's been our best player. I do like the interior passing to Combs.

Guys shots aren't falling at all. 0-7 from 3. 47% from the line. Can't win games like this

[DeepGreen]

Reese hasn't done squat except for some free throws.  Why is he in the game?

You rather play Eaglin, Pittman, or Ward? We have only have 11 scholership players.      9 of them can really play and 4 of them are post players. Who else is going to run point?

Oh, I put the blame on Benford. We should have someone better than Reese.  And we should have the full number of scholly players.  I blame Benford on that too!

[Bullyballer]

I would run Eaglin, Pittman and Ward cannot handle the ball to that degree. Eaglin protects the ball, but doesn't shoot. Brown has 2 fouls, same with Deckie. They could leave Reese in, but rein him in. Tell him to run the show and stop looking for his own shot every play. Tell him to concentrate on running the show. Oh, and tell him to get his arms out on defense.

But all that would require a good coach, adjusting to the play and getting the boys to play like they need...

Good point.   On another note- I like Katenda and nice dunk by Combs.

Fantastic start to this half by the good guys.

We haven't had a good point guard since White. Reese is just as good a pg as any since White. I think Brown may be the next big pg for the future.

We are playing really, really well at the moment.  Probably the best we have all season.

Things suddenly turned against us.  UTEP regains control.

[Andrew]

Katenda and Brice have really been surprising, but Fuller has been disappointing. 

[CMJ]

Alrighty...I am headed out...family stuff.  GMG

[Bullyballer]

I think they are playing a game with Fuller. He starts, then plays 6 mins the whole game. Hardly played last game, after playing well in previous games.  Tough for a freshman to deal with. Like this game, he started, 2 mins into the game, he get's pulled out- for no reason at all (as far as I could tell.  Holston got pulled too, so I wondering, what the heck the coach was doing, it's 2 mins into the game.

Now, Fuller gets the turnover, playing cold. Crazy.

Eating dinner out and now without radio. :(

looks close though! 

[Bullyballer]

Deckie just hit a 3 to gives us the lead 71-70.

[flyingeagle12]

Playing well. Two big guys with 4 fouls tho

Can't make free throws. UTEP is hack a fouling now.
