@ UTEP (2/18/2023)

This doesn’t look good to me

[Venson]

I did not expect this because UTEP is not good.

[TheColonyEagle]

Do we want to win this game? UTEP sure seems like they want it more. They are out working and out hustling us 

[eagle73]

This game is really ugly in every way.

Looking a lot like the Rice game.

Someone better wake the fellas up….. so frustrating that we can stay in a game when we turn the ball over twelve times then just lay an egg in 2nd half

[97and03]

Looks like that last minute of the first half just kept on rolling well into the second. I mean I know this is a terrible offensive team but four points in a half, FFS? 

[UNTLifer]

Got to make the quick entry to Abou off the screen. This dribble down the shot clock offense is ridiculous.

Kai is slowly replacing Perry as the go to player the last few games including tonight.

Perry looks lost tonight.

I don’t know. Perry has to pull the trigger from outside. He gets in trouble in the lane. Kai has the size to go to the rim.

HOLD…HOLD…HOOOOOOLD!

A lot of time left.  Have faith Mean Green Nation!

[UNTLifer]

UTEP is doubling the ball handler out high. We have to be quicker moving the ball  

Big shot there from Kai.

Foul underneath against Scott not called. 

[TheColonyEagle]

I haven’t watched a lot of UTEP basketball but is this the way they always play? They’re upset on some of the foul calls but man they are wildassed on defense. SUPER aggressive and it seems like they foul everyone with the ball. And push off on rebounds

How has UTEP not won more games this year? If this is the type of defense they play, they should at least be middle of the pack...

Yep.  Their struggle has been scoring consistently all season.

We’re going to send a lot of UTEP fans home unhappy.

They struggle on the offensive end.

[Matt from A700]

Did UTEP need NCAA approval before painting that giant dog turd on their court?

[Talon90]

Rubin Jones is having a good game and has been progressing the last few games.

[97and03]

Has Abu ever committed a hard foul?

All ticky-tacky….reputation fouls.

That was a cheap call.

I agree, but he has to improve his handle.

That is what is what is frustrating. UTEP is the master of push in the low back when rebounding that never gets called. A guy trips over his own feet and Abou gets called.
