McCulley returns home and gives his family and friends quite a show
And earns a very fine Senior early present.
Let’s see more play like this down the stretch, Miners!
We have a bug game against USM on Wednesday. They are in first right now, let's knock them down too!
We've now beat memphis 3 out of the last 4
and twice in a row in Memphis. And, we should’ve won the C-USA championship, so basically what I’m saying is. WE OWN MEMPHIS!

Gives this team A TON of confidence for the Conference Tournament IN Memphis.
Bwahahaha, THE MINERS WIN!!!!!
Yeah this is a HUGE win for these guys
Hopefully this is the spark that these young guys needed. They need to realize that they can play with ANYONE out there. They just need to believe that everytime they step on the court. Hopefully this one gives them that confidence.

haha
honestly the Big East can have them. I mean, obviously I’d have liked them to stay in C-USA, but let’s be honest, they are absolutely terrible in football, and their basketball program just hasn’t been the same since CAL left.

Let's not forget that the Miners defeated both Memphis and the bad officiating
And that’s what excellent teams do. They can defeat bad officiating. Period.

It is amazing how we were able to overcome that Horrendous start, just a sign of how good this team can be when healthy, driven, and experienced.
It's crazy when you think about it
With all the injuries this year, not to mention they are the 5th youngest NCAA team this season.
Also, Julian Washburn with another amazing defensive performance.
Once his offensive game becomes consistent, you have to think he’s going to run away with Player of The Year awards down the road.
Yes, held Barton way down today. Made Haskins grin today.
The potential for this team is stellar.
so impressed with Wash today, just a lock down performance on Barton...
Also what an effort by Gabe, i didnt even realize dude had 9 pts and 12 boards
can tell you how proud/excited i am about how we won today
Down early, horrible refs and the miners kept fighting.
I’ll be coming down to el paso this week specifically to watch the s. Miss game ( hidden behind visting my mom for her birthday) I can’t wait.
great win by utep

Guys
17 minutes left in the ball game, Marshall on top of SMU 34-17. I have no idea what is going on over there. But, considering the way they’ve been playing, if we don’t get the win at SMU, that will be disappointing.

make that 16 minutes left
same score.

Seriously! SMU has hit a serious offensive roadblock, their only saving grace is defense.
They are on pace for less than 40 again. Those are the teams that scare me though, we should not struggle with a team like that.
man how could i missed this???
I thought the game was tonight. I guess i’ll take it. Great job. I’m wondering if Memphis will ever play us after they leave our conference or would they just take the ball and go home…I’m guessing the latter…

yeah I wouldn't count on it
But personally I would love to have a game against them every year. It would help our rpi and SOS, and it would just be a solid no conference opponent

and also
don’t feel too bad about missing the game. It’s happened to me before with those early starts. I didn’t realize it was at 11 till last night.

honestly guys
We could so easily be right in the thick of things for the conference race. We should’ve beat Houston, very easily could’ve beat rice and UAB, and just with those we’re 9-3. I guess that’s just what you have to deal with when you’ve got such a young team. Hopefully next year those close losses turn into close wins.

i thought the same thing but it goes both ways, we couldve easily lost to SMU, Tulane and this one...
it’s all up and down right now, but ur right, the experience overall will help these guys get better in the future
USM game is pretty big now as far as conference seeding, I think we can work our way
into the 6th seed if we can split the next 2 and sweep Rice and SMU…I think we can do some real damage as a 6-seed in the tourney, either way, great great win for this young squad.
that is nuts
last i checked, they had 17 points with like 15:50 to play, and then they put up 51 after that???

I think it caught up to us a long time ago
and we’ve dealt with almost every single game. Today was the perfect example. Bo fouled out with 4 or 5 minutes to go, Ced had 4, McCulley had 3. I mean, a couple more bad calls, and we would’ve been without all 3 of our bigs.
But, I think that our team has dealt with it well. These guys realize the situation that they are in, and they just have to prepare that much harder, and play that much smarter, if they want to continue to win games. The good thing is, by next season, we’re gonna have more guys than we know what to do with. Depth will certainly not be an issue.

Conference tournament is going to be crazy.

Memphis still has to be the favorite to win that
I know we knocked them off today, but they just don’t lose very often at home.

I completely tuned out of the game
thinking it was over. Then saw USM cut it to 2. Crazy.

I think the bracketbuster is a great idea
but it should include a lot more bubble teams. There a lot of bubble teams from power conferences that get a free pass, while teams like a 26-1 Murray St. have to prove themselves.
