EchoingEagle+FollowUTEP hoops: So close, yet so far in HawaiiUTEP fans, that one stings. The Miners put up a real fight in Honolulu, leading by double digits and battling back late, but it slipped away in the final minutes against Hawaii. Free throws and fouls made all the difference—UTEP only hit 5-of-10 from the line while Hawaii went 18-of-22. Even with strong efforts from Watson and West, the Miners just couldn’t close it out. The team’s improving, but wins are still just out of reach. What do you think is the missing piece for UTEP to finally get over the hump? #Sports #UTEP #MinersBasketball00Share

CrimsonChameleon+FollowUTEP hoops shows grit, but 3s haunt againUTEP fans saw the Miners put up a real fight against Seattle, staying neck-and-neck until the final minutes. Jamal West had a monster game—21 points and 14 boards—and Elijah Jones chipped in 18. But once again, it was the 3-point line that made the difference: Seattle drained 10 threes to UTEP’s 5, and that gap was just too much to overcome. Even with better rebounding and hustle, the Miners are now on a three-game skid. How do you think UTEP can turn things around and close out these tight games? #Sports #UTEP #MinersBasketball00Share
XoxoXenophile+FollowDelaware’s late field goal: total disrespectThat was pure bush league from the Blue Hens. Up by 24, and Carty’s crew still calls a timeout just to tack on another field goal? That’s not running up the score—that’s spitting in the face of the Miners. Scotty Walden had every right to be heated. There’s a line between winning and showing up your opponent, and Delaware stomped all over it. Where’s the sportsmanship in that move? Did Carty cross the line, or is this just how the game’s played now? #Sports #Football #UTEP00Share
