So why couldn't they do this last night? What did UTEP do to make UT so inept?

I saw 3/4 of last night's game. I am telling you that UTEP shot great, even contested jump shots. Now, in the second half, our defense was not great. We could not defend the basket. I would guess that UTEP won't shoot that well in three quarters of their games. Maymon also played terrible, and we missed 16 FT's. that sums it up.

Thanks. Is Xavier trying to do that too? It would make sense if they were. Or did they just try to do what they did last time we played?

I'm listening to it so I really couldn't tell you. Seems like more man to man than anything. We had a horrible shooting night and that didn't help. They are shooting 23-48 today.

I understand, but I said they needed to go 2-1 in this tourney. Get one today and finish tomorrow. We also can't lose to UGA in the middle of the SEC. Again, I will wait and see.

All true, but the game plan and rotation is about 50 times better than it was last night. Aside from the Q sighting of course. Lol

No fans suffer from Battered Wife Syndrome worse than UT basketball fans.

Perfect storm of sorts for a UT loss it seems.

Reading these posts is the most frustrating thing to experience as a fan. If you don't like what you're seeing quit watching. Martin is the right guy for the job, a combination of things happened that escalated a loss.

Missed free throats, 5 block calls on us, random hand check fouls on us, couldn't hit a shot and bad defensive scheming during the first half.

He's a good coach you just have to have faith when times look rough. Wichita State last year is a lot like us this year. They didnt look so hot until the end of the year and did big in the tournament. Think of it: if we won the SEC tournament and did work in the Dance it would be a successful season. We've got about 26 games left don't give up now.
