What's the crowd estimate?

Keeping the Miners at arm's length.

What has Draper done to get all these minutes lately? I’m not saying I don’t like him or that he is bad, but Smart is hardly getting any minutes now. 
 

Edit... ok with that crazy catch and falling pass along with the charge he just drew I can see why he is in haha. 

He plays some solid defense.

[CMJ]

NT 52 --------- UTEP 39

 

11:30 to go

 

Cruising right now.  We've only tuned the ball over like four times all day.

[Mean Green Matt]

8 more minutes of effort then a week off. This isn’t a terrible UTEP team.

Need to play to the final whistle. Last time UTEP played in Denton, things got crazy in the end.

NT 56 --------- UTEP 47

 

7:42 to go

 

Miners crawling back in this.  Need to play smart.

[CMJ]

I am loving GM.

Back to the uniforms, UTEP’s are horrible. Like our whites, and I thought we had new uniforms this year. 

[CMJ]

 

NT 67 --------- UTEP 57

 

Final

Nice double digit win.  Looked to me like 4 games in 8 days almost caught up with us.  See y'all in Houston next Saturday.

You're missing something, @CMJ 🙂

Sweeping 4 games in a week is just huge! 8 in a row! 2 games in a row where the good guys weathered a late push by the other team and stuck a dagger in them. Great team win!

Sorry my man but it looked like a lot more in the stands.

The home whites I swear have not changed in decades. The green away uniforms are new and I think we got rid of the black ones? 

[Mean Green Matt]

anyone else vomit a little bit when we mentioned SMU beating Memphis on our postgame show? As far as I’m concerned our radio should act like SMU doesn’t exist unless we are playing them or they’ve experienced an embarrassing defeat.

If you pushed everyone in the arena down as close to the floor as they could get, the lower bowl was probably half full. 

[Vcu74]

Good win! Congrats and enjoy:)

If the Coliseum holds 10K and it was half full, that’s 5,000.  This was the best crowd this season.  And the UTEP fans did themselves proud.  They were as loud as the Home team.  

Great win.  Are we half a game ahead of Western Kentucky ?

UTEP is 2 - 7 away from El Paso.  The hold a 6 - 2  advantage vs. NT, but our two wins came in EP.  They are led by their guards, Boum (12.2 pts/gm) and Edwards (10.4 pts/gm) and F Bryson Williams is their leading scorer at 18.6 per game.  All that being considered, I predict the following:

North Texas wins by at least 12 points, and we hold them to 60 or less.

Well, was off by two points but we held them below 60 and most importantly win. JJ enjoyed his flight back to Hobby. Great win considering Gibson was 0fer from the field. Nice to see others pick up the slack and contribute to a very balanced attack. We would be lethal if Smart would get his confidence back. Maybe we should send him to a Sport Psychologist.  Love this team. I have got to find a way to get to Denton for a game.

OK, since no one else seems to want to...

Love that picture. 
 

Regarding the team, one other comment, I love how they don’t ever seemed to get rattled when the opposing team is making a run. Somebody, tonight it was Reese’s three, always steps up and hits a big shot to deflate the other team. Great poise.
