Gutsy performance. We will see these guys at Moody!

[mrydel]

All we needed was for Nuke to hit a few.

[SoCal_Pony]

Well, we certaintly have an opportunity to even the score with the Miners 3 weeks from now in Moody

[Mitch McConnell]

Hey, they're pretty good. Stone had 13 in the second half and Nyakundi had 4. That combination is a killer.

Tough lostt. Spilt trip. Get ready for Houston.

[Harry0569]

I'm really upset..this stings

[shadowman]

Did J-Frog have a bet on the Miners? He tanked it the last 2 minutes!

[Junior]

wow, we fell apart the last 5 minutes. total meltdown.

I'll +1 that.

have a good night everyone

[hoopmanx]

this loss stings man

didn't sting me at all, happy for another very good effort. Sometimes you don't have the horses. Rob played scared which he's prone to do against athletic teams that can extend on him, that have length

[wcspony]

Great effort, but letting a potential big W on the road get away with slopping possessions (4 straight turnovers) does sting. I sure hope we take it out against the Cougars next week.

[CalallenStang]

We will beat UTEP at Moody.

[ponyscott]

Couldn't buy a bucket late....no more back doors late in the second half.

[Charleston Pony]

we needed a 4th guy to step up and Nyakundi just couldn't contribute tonight; if he had hit that 3 when we were down 6 with still more than 2 minutes to play....might have been a different finish

Samarrippas tried to do too much at the end but this one was over when Rob missed that key 3 pointer

[Mitch McConnell]

wow, we fell apart the last 5 minutes. total meltdown.

Was it that or was it that UTEP is pretty hard to beat out there with a great crowd and experienced players. Sometimes, that senior leadership means something in tight games. They were just better in the last 5 minutes from the way it sounded.

Just keep grinding.

[Treadway21]

Anybody hear their announcer say - wow, that's a good team. We put in a respectful performance, hate to lose when we played so well for so much of the game.
