UTEP (1/25/20)


CMJ

Recommended Posts

UTEP is 2 - 7 away from El Paso.  The hold a 6 - 2  advantage vs. NT, but our two wins came in EP.  They are led by their guards, Boum (12.2 pts/gm) and Edwards (10.4 pts/gm) and F Bryson Williams is their leading scorer at 18.6 per game.  All that being considered, I predict the following:

North Texas wins by at least 12 points, and we hold them to 60 or less.

Fun fact, Souley Boum will be playing his first game in the Super Pit for UTEP but not his first game in the Super Pit altogether. He was San Francisco’s second leading scorer as a true freshman back in 2017-2018 for their CBI runner up team.

Absolutely !   With UNT finally playing such great basketball again, leading the conference, 6 wins in a row,  the Pit should be packed EVERY HOME GAME with at least 6000.  THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS - ENJOY EM.  Reminiscent of some exciting days under Coach Bill Blakeley in 1976.  WHY NOT UNT? WHY NOT NOW?

We’re still watching, keep it up! Good luck tonight. Won’t be able to watch because I don’t have + but with the time difference I’ll be following the score with 🍺 in hand. 

Fun day today; VCU at noon, then conference 1 and 2 teams at 2pm.  at 6, two ex-VCU coaches when Texas and LSU meet(Heart wants Texas, head says otherwise) 
cheers !

I agree. I'll be the first to ban her from the super pit for life. 🙂 I'd blame this football season on her, but she's been going to those for years.  However, we haven't won a conference championship since she was born.....hmmmmm?

I was in that crowd.  As long as I live I will not forget the atmosphere generated at the old Pit. It was greatness and the noise level would get so high that the metal walls of that arena would actually vibrate.  Oh, to bring that atmosphere back.
