UTEP gave it away late.

tough loss. KU is T20 and this would have been a great win for the Miners and CUSA.

UTEP died in the last 8 minutes. They didn’t sub a lot, from what my Miner buddy told me. KU just wore them down and they took some bad shots down the stretch.

KU always starts slow and rallies at the end. Always. No surprise here.

We were fortunate your guys ran out of gas in the second half. Williams and Boum are special players. I think the Miners are going to be dangerous in the C-USA tournament, and I won’t be surprised if they win it.

UTEP split with the 2 worst teams in the West and got rolled by the 2 top teams in the West. They aren't winning the tournament. KU is obviously having a down year (though most of their losses are to ranked teams), so I have a feeling teams in the top of the conference would admittedly beat them. As someone who also watches KU basketball, they just aren't good this year.

They aren't vintage KU, but they're still a top 20 program.  UTEP hanging with them was impressive, but I figure it was them sleepwalking a bit and the Miners playing above their heads some.

What I take from this: don't sleep on UTEP in the tourney.
