FINAL RECORD
19-14, 8-8, sixth place in conference.

WHAT WENT RIGHT
The Miners bounced back from a losing season in their second season under coach Tony Barbee, earned a postseason bid to the CBI and found some young players they can build on in the future.

WHAT WENT WRONG
The Miners remained inconsistent and often lacked the toughness to get physical with the better teams on their schedule.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"We lost but we played good as a team and showed glimpses of greatness. Coach (Tony) Barbee expects a lot out of this (freshman) class. I think we improved -- not only on the court but mentally." -- UTEP freshman point guard Julyan Stone.

So  our only hop Stephan jackson was arrested earlier on in the week for some BS reason, the allegations are pretty serious you think he will still be at UTEP next season? Also i just read today that our head coach is in the running for the coaching position that just opened up at U Mass. Any thoughts?

Since we got bounced out of the NIT, and we have no basketball to discuss I thought I would open the discussion to my second love: Food.  I just wanted to throw down my favorite late night dollar menu.

Jack in the box has the goodness with the two tacos for 99 cents but  it's too easy to get distracted from the 99 cent menu.

UTEPplayed arguably the best game of their season, yet no one posts, except some crybaby B****H Houston fan. Stephon was clutch, Kilgore had the half of his life, and you just saw next season in Culpepper, Stone, and McCulley, along with Britton (if he can get in shape). If Jackson sticks around the Miners have to be considered second to Memphis come next pre-season picks. Tulsa tomorrow!!!!! ...(more)

Miner fans, I am sad to report, if you did not catch the game, one heck of a second half performance, only to have the air go out of their tires in overtime. After falling behind 13 pts to start the game, Stephon Jackson rallied his troops and almost led us to a date with Memphis, hitting clutch shot after clutch shot, but not having his number called at all in overtime. Culpepper ove ...(more)

 why does tom penders have to suck so badly we lost to you guys again, I mean we play with no heart whatsoever, no way we should have lost, we were the last hope for c-usa getting multiple bids, now where a one bid lead, I don't get how you guys can be so happy about it, I mean you do want the c-usa to get stronger right??? Or do you only care about your team, thanks alot.

Here is hoping that the Miners take it to the Mustangs, then get a back to back W out of Houston to set up a what may be a sleeper alert against Memphis....i'd like to see UTEP in the NIT, and heaven forbid they run the tables and take a berth away from another team come dance time, I just don't think the height or depth is there so do so. Watcha think? Pick 'em!
