I agree. UTEP with Caracter would be a top 25 team, add Moultrie...top15.

With DC and AM in the fold and CTF on the bench, I doubt we lose more than 2 games all year...
but it does show just how well the team played this year with new coach, new system and basically a short rotation…I thought it was great to see Julyan make an the second all-conf team, that kid played balls out all year. He and Randy will be greatly missed.
By the way Donald Buckram ran a 4.39 forty at the Pro-Day today

coogs have already accomplished what I hoped, make it a tough game...
If Houston wins, then we would have played them 4 straight years in the tourney, thats nuts
Look what one of our commits for next year said on Twitter
Jalen Ragland
So I guess 22 aint retired at #UTEP .. Hopefully the #DueceDuece legacy will live on.. I wanna be the best to ever rock it….

Those are definitely big shoes to fill, I realize Tim bug was the guy most UTEP fans would say was the best player to come after the 66 title team,
but Jeep’s legacy is legendary in EP. Heck I remember shooting hoops with my dad growing up and he’d always call out his name when he shot the ball, I didnt have the slightest idea what he was refering to. Jeep was beloved in UTEP, but I like Jalen’s ambitions, hope it comes true.
Marshall in the Bonus with 14 minutes left.

Baylor still down 19, interesting thing about that game is Perry Jones was ruled ineligible
30 minutes before tip-off, weird.
Yeah, his college career is over.

Baylor should be completely off the Bubble map at this point. No way they back door their way in with a 7-10 conference record!

We're gonna need that defensice intensity we saw half the season
Marshall scoring 64 points in the second half today is pretty scary
Honestly if they didn't start knocking down threes, Houston would have won. Houston seemed to be the better team most of the game. Marshall just got REALLY hot on 5 straight possessions.

Bracketology
Joe Lunardi update….UTEP has moved up to 6th team out, with Memphis ahead of them at 5th team out. Alabama 1st out, followed by USC, Missouri ST, Washington ST.
Nice, hopefully Bama loses whenever they play. We could also benefit from Washington St. losing tomorrow, and USC losing tomorrow, which is very possible. USC plays a Cal team that started off pretty hot, and Washington St. plays Washington.
