Re: Preview: LA Tech at UTEP
Important first conference road test! We can't sleep on them. I didn't follow the game, but it looked like it was fairly tight against UAB.
Re: Preview: LA Tech at UTEP
Fourth straight game vs. the Miners in El Paso. This is like Marshall and ODU where we always seem to play road games vs. them.

Not really. UAB led 42-28 at halftime, and had a 20+ pt lead over UTEP for most of the 2nd half, including a 75-53 lead with only 1:12 left in the game. I asked UAB fans on the CUSA board how UTEP managed to score the last 9 pts of the game for the final 75-62 margin, and they said it was one of those situations where the UAB coach (Kennedy) emptied his bench for the last 1:12.

But your point is still well taken. This Tech team can't sleep on anybody.

.....even though ODU beat us in Baseball to win the CUSA Championship in our brand new stadium just last season. (Yes, I'm still bitter. :laugh: ) And Marshall seems to whip us in football, no matter where we play. (They beat us in JAS in 2020)
Re: Preview: LA Tech at UTEP
Honestly, we're a crazy finish away from being 1-1 in conference with lots of concern as to whether or not we can win at UTEP. I think we'll probably win, but I wouldn't bet on it. We have to get more consistent from beyond the arc. Right now, we have one of the worst 3pt shooting % in the conference.
Re: Preview: LA Tech at UTEP
Can't be down double-digits deep into the second half and expect to make another comeback.

Re: Preview: LA Tech at UTEP
If you were trying to introduce someone to basketball, you burn the tape of that first five minutes. UGLY!
Even the zebras are lost. Shot clearly hit the rim and no shot clock reset. Refs corrected it, so at least one of them was awake.
Re: Preview: LA Tech at UTEP
This might be the ugliest game I've ever seen.

Re: Preview: LA Tech at UTEP
Allowing UTEP to set up a lounge chair to shoot outside the arc. No illegal screens needed.
Re: Preview: LA Tech at UTEP
Too much dribbling by Tech in this game. The Dawgs need to work on passing the ball in practice WITHOUT dribbling at all. This is crazy. This much dribbling leads to too many turnovers.
Re: Preview: LA Tech at UTEP
Bradford looking good. 3 for 3 on FG's.

Tech 22 Bieniemy 10 at the 8:00 media timeout called by UTEP.
