I'm fairly confident that UTEP will win the game unless Floyd screws it up. He as a bad habit of showing off and playing obscure defenses at important times in the game.

I'm sure the fans are going to be all over him, Don't think he can stand up to it. if there is one thing most people know about Tim Floyd, he has an ego almost as big as his shady past.

Actually, it's UTEP @ ECU.... And yes it should be a good one. UTEP has not shown it can win regularly on the road.

Depends on how much home cookin' ECU gets.

Hope we get as much as UAB did last night lol.

So, do we take bets on the over/under Tim Floyd Ts or do we go for under/over UTEP Coaching Staff ejections?

Had a great seat for that. Had Floyed stated in we were going to run away with that. After the ejections you could see the demeanor of all those senior Utep players change. They really came after us. Our guys just held on after that.

Embarrassment doesn't seem to keep you from doing it? So what's your point?

Hope your Aggies win...

This is Floyd's most underrated team. I think they would now beat UNLV (if they played again).

Miners win.

But like Fitbud's fake loyalty to the Miners, the win will be misleading. It will be a very tight game.

the ref, the fat security guard and fitbud are all on the same team

That isn't a security guard, it's a ECU Police officer, Officer Biggs. He isn't fat, he's wearing a bulletproof vest. He is actually a pretty cool guy. He was just doing what he was asked to do, remove the coach from the court.

that guy is fat, bulletproof vest or not

Not quit a waterboy. They guy who was left to coach the team was graduate assistant, at the time, Greg Foster. Foster had an 11-12 year NBA career and won an NBA championship with the Lakers, playing with Shaq and Kobe. He is one hell of a coach and will be a head coach at a big time program soon.

You do realize how transparent you are, right?

I think ECU gets the win considering it's at Minges. The students have really started showing up for the games, and that place will be ROCKING. The basket looks HUGE to our deadly shooters at home.

ECU should be favored in this game and unless ECU scores a lot less than they normrally do (78.2) and UTEP scores a lot more than they normally do (63.2); then ECU will win it.

The two teams home and away records are pretty telling. UTEP is 1-3 on the road. ECU is 10-1 at home, with the one being a loss in overtime. ECU has a definite home court advantage and since the game is being played at ECU then you almost have to go with them; but that is why they play the games.

It's gonna take more logic than that! lol

UTEP has played way more tougher teams than ECU has... ECU may be at home, but I aint buying their record... I would be shocked to see ECU score more than 65.

Well it sure is going to hurt your ego/pride when you lose to a team that lost to Campbell. (but beat UCF, Houston, UAB, and lost by 6 on the road at UNC)

I was reading into the stats, and ECU shoots a ton of 3's... That hasn't been good for the Miners all season, but at the same time, UTEP seems to always have a high scorer against ECU... Should be interesting to see what happens... Can go either way, really... If ECU doesn't hit their shots, I like the Miners chances... At the same time, UTEP has too many dry spells.

We have a UNC grad coach. We should get plenty.
