UTEP is throwing ODU down a flight of stairs.

both teams that beat  MTSU over the past week have gotten smacked today. shows the strength of our side of the conference

[CMJ]

UTEP defeats ODU 74-64 and it wasn't that close.

[CMJ]

FAU destroys USM 86-59.

[CMJ]

LA Tech vs WKU

 

MTSU vs UTEP

 

UAB vs FAU

[UNTFan23]

All teams bound for the Sun Belt conference have been eliminated. 

[greenminer]

I'm showing my bias here but I think Miners are feeling good right now and will absolutely bury the Blue Raiders tomorrow.  After everything that has happened the last week, MTSU should be very worried.

[CMJ]

I think UTEP is undoubtedly playing better.  I'm rating that game is a tossup though given the rest factor, or lack thereof for the Miners.

So awful to be able to drive just up the road and easily park and walk in to watch r team play…. 
 

oh…. Also so awful to be able to see multiple games at once and not have to leave the venue to see another team… also how awful to be in walking distance if good food…. How awful….

Good location, bad venue, looks minor league on television.

I agree. The MUTS struggled away from home this year.

The UAB vs FAU matchup has now become the most intriguing for me (aside from our game obviously).  FAU played well late in the season and, after curb stomping USM, you know they have to be playing with confidence.

After our game (hopefully they let people back in) I’m gonna leave and eat then come back in and watch the other 2 games.

Would love to see FAU and UTEP pull off the upsets. MTSU should be without their leader in Josh Jefferson, so that makes things very interesting.

Am I the only one not really that worried about UTEP? We lost by 2 after having our worst start and worst shooting performance of the season where Bell couldn't buy a free throw make if his life depended on it. I doubt we shoot that poorly again for the rest of the season. Hell, they thought it was such a big deal, their fans stormed the court.

This time of year, I'm really worried by everyone.

If we see them again it will be in the final.

IIRC, The Star is notorious for disrupting shooting percentages.  FWIW

Fair, but this team does seem to really lock in this time of year too. I'm ready for Tourney Drez to be unleashed.

Honestly, I hope you're right.  Some valid shots are fired here.

[RiseUNT]

Who we want? WKU or LaTech?

 Let’s get a 2ot game here.

[CMJ]

Both teams could give us issues, but I feel like WKU has broken my heart more in the past so I am more nervous regarding them.

[greenminer]

Let them hit 7OT and I'lll feel pretty good about whatever version of exhaustion we get.

I agree, no matter how many times we play them, I still feel like we have to steal a win against them

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

La Tech it is

[CMJ]

WKU couldn't make a free throw at the end.  Sorta let it slip away.  Either team was gonna give me nightmares.

[Matt from A700]

I am nervous as hell for tomorrow now. School with a lot of local alumni that we will have to beat for a third straight time with not as many fans present than if the game wasn't on a Thursday morning
