A win tonight will make the push for a conference tournament bid interesting

If this team could stop the turnovers, it could compete .

Their one guard might be the worse ball handler I’ve seen at this level in some time

Fernandez is just as bad when he handles the ball.

I'm assuming it's the same story again tonight with Kebe?? Meaning, he's dressed and available, correct? But tonight instead of letting him actually play for his normal 2 or 3 mins (and usually making at least 1 bucket, a rebound or 2, and a block/altered shot), MI just figures it's much easier to never put him in the game so that we can't question why he's always benched after a productive few mins. I mean why give one of the VERY few scholarship players we still have available, not to mention one with experience and some actual athleticism, any kind of run...makes total sense. Seriously, what in the world is the deal here!!!!!!?????

You said “their” so I assume you were referring to a player on UTEP.

Thank goodness for Bliss. Bliss is the only player who seems comfortable handling the ball. The turnovers are frustrating. UTEP is struggling shooting the ball but they appear much quicker.

Hard to believe the Hens were up 20-10 in this game.

Kebe is on the bike so he must be dealing with some type of injury. What’s new!

If the Hens make the conference tourney, the new AD may see it fit to extend MI's contract another 5 years. :lol:

Can’t make a 3 point shot, turnovers, and can’t keep UTEP from getting multiple offensive boards. That’s your story for today’s game!

At a loss for words...8% shooting from 3. I honestly think if each time we got yhe ball across the mid court strip we just immediately heaved 40 footers the odds are we would probably shoot at least 9 or 9.5% from 3. SMH

When your team lacks an inside game, unfortunately nights like tonight give you no chance to win.
