There are

NO bison in West Virginia, well not since 1825. Thundering Herd, I wonder what that means now?

Man, the crowd is really into it too....

UTEP needs to get it under 10 before the break

No foul call on a Culpepper 3 right before that nice buzzer beater

Barbee needs to talk to the team about the turnovers

Ridiculous, two guys sandwiched him....

I was about to comment on that and then he hit the buzzer-beater

fouls

Culpepper needs to stop relying on the refs to call the shooting foul. They clearly are not giving him that call. J. Stone had a couple of nice drives into the lane to force the action. Come on Miners!

Miners with a good start tothe half
