Great win for the Dawgs!

[HogDawg]

Congrats to the Dawgs.

It sounds like Cobe Williams and Amorie Archibald just put this team on its' back with 3 min to go, and took over the game with multiple steals, timely FG's and key FREE THROWS. Yes, you read that right folks....Tech hit several key free throws down the stretch that --along with some key steals-- made the difference. Tech finished 16 of 22 (73%) from the free throw line against UTEP.

Ya mean we shot a decent % from the FT line (not great, but decent) and prevailed in a close game???? Who'd a thunk it?

Watched it, and we almost got out coached, but these guys got it done. Huge road win in a very difficult Haskins Arena. Their first home loss of the season. Hope Crawford can rebound from injury. We missed him terribly.

What did his injury look like? How did it happen?

He was going up for a lay up, got bumped pretty good and came down awkwardly. Knee issue. Supposedly out 4-5 weeks

It looked like a contact injury to me, like a tissue bruise that would swell. Didn't seem like a strain or hyper extension. Do you think it's a ligament injury? I thought it would swell and be tender for a week or two. At least that's what I'm hoping.

UTEP 80 UTSA 77 in OT

Miners trailed by 25 points but rallied to force OT. UTSA shot just 32% from the ARC, which is not terrible, but nothing like the 56% they shot against us. Jackson scored 29 pts but most of that ocurred in the 1st half. He was 3 of 10 from the ARC. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I thought Isaiah Crawford had a chance to be Freshman of the Year. I wish in a full and speedy recovery.

That sucks. Kid looked like he was improving every week.

But the same way he got his opportunity when JP was injured...JP gets a chance to reestablish himself in the rotation. The team should be confident he'll pick up where he left off.

Very true -

Hopefully our depth will show with this injury

A kid in a back-up role is always just ONE bad step away from starting...
