UTEP is a very long team. We are gonna match up horribly against them

UTEP is a very long team. We are gonna match up horribly against them

We can have a long team with Colman, Gaines, Jordan, Aniefiok, and Alzee. I am not seeing the game but that is a pretty tall and long lineup. You could even throw Flannigan at the 3 and put Jordan at the 2. It's long... But would be a terrible offensive lineup!

[Andrew]

I see in their stats that their top four scores are 6-6, 6-8, 6-8, and 6-10. If all of them are on the floor at once we will have a hard time...

[Andrew]

For UTEPS height they are getting destroyed on the boards! 15 to 27 at half.

UTEP has looked pretty good.

[Andrew]

Good win by UTEP but out rebounded 27 to 45 is pretty bad. They shot the ball well tonight.

[CMJ]

UTEP 78

Tennessee 70

Wow! Good looking win on paper. I have no idea how the Vols look this year, but they have been media darlings in the past.

[greenminer]

UTEP's two losses thus far are to the same NMSU squad. Ags are 7-1 on the year with a 114 RPI rank (per ESPN)

If they beat Iowa it will be very impressed. This conference is looking tougher by the day and it makes me care less and less about our OC schedule because we will have plenty of tough games on our hands.
