My apologies for the lack of posting yesterday. After the C-USA Tournament and the quick entrance and exit to the NIT, I think we all collectively felt deflated and needed a break. We'll have a ton of UTEP hoops postseason coverage rolling in over the coming days and next week, we will give out our postseason awards (The Rushies). With the NCAA Tournament kicking off today, don't forget to register for the Miner Rush Tournament Bracket Challenge. Turn Up the Orange's Jay Koester has signed up and we are at 29 competitors.
This year, obviously, March Madness won't be as awesome as it was last time around when UTEP was in the field. But, its still a great time of the year. Enjoy it, because after its over we're on to a looooong offseason.
