UTEP GAME--My two cents
Posted: Fri Feb 09, 2001 2:36 pmI thought that victory was HUGE. Twice as big as the Tulsa win. Why, maybe because it was the latest win on our road to 12-0 in Moody. Maybe because UTEP is a very under rated team. Maybe because I say so.
Hancock, Davis, and Sasser all played well. But the MVP goes to Q. He is the MVP for the last couple of games. When we fall down he picks us up. He is playing better than Hancock right now.
From the Kelley alley oop I had a good feeling about the game. I want to give credit to Jibran who played a great game. Very aggressive underneath. Mike Niemi also had some key minutes. He is becoming a spark for this team. He may not put up very many points, but he gets us momentum.
DeWayne Floyd had a breakout game. His three point shooting almost gave me a heart attack, of course until he hit his third attempt. Huge shot DeWayne, but stop shooting those. Leave those for Q, Hancock, and Sasser. DeWayne played very good defense until late in the game. But you could tell, his quick, jumpy fronting of UTEP's big guys got under their skin and they were shut down for a while.
But what about our free throw shooting. At the end, Hancock missed 2 and Sasser went 1-2. Those have to be automatics. That late in the game and shots that important have to fall. Q drained his, though.
What a great win. Moody was AWESOME. Better student support, but still, it is weak. Where are they?
Our last two games are going to be VERY HARD. Fresno then TCU. OUCH. But we are going undefeated in Moody!
