Another comeback game by the Cardiac Rebs. Rebs went on a 33-11 run from the 4:22 mark and OT.

when we went down 10, I thought well, that's it..this has to be the most fun team we've had in years (maybe ever) in an insane kind of way :hydro: Keep it rolling Rebs - drama however, is not required 8)

I listened to this game and almost threw my headset at the 6-minute mark. I'm so glad I didn't see the other thread on this forum....I'd have gone nuts. Great game and Hotty Freakin Toddy!!!!

UTEP was a long, tall team who gave us fits! They shut Chris Warren down the 2nd half - until the very end of the game. Since they have several players from Memphis, they had allot of fans at the game and we let their fans get into the game which really helped them! However, we seemed to rise to the challenge toward the end. Good teams seem to find a way to win! Make no mistake.....this was a good W for the Rebs!

This W is gonna pay dividends big-time down the road RPI-wise.

We better learn how to play defense and hit free throws. We won't go very far in the big dance playing like we're playing. We also are lacking on an inside game. Buckner is the best we have, and he will be a very good player. But he's just too young right now.

Don't see that happening...think games we win will be on pure athletic ability...which will not fly in post season.

Free Throws are not a problem for the guards on this team and we have shot them great for years guys so I don't know where that idea is coming from. Yes, our bigs can't hit FTs but they aren't the ones shooting them at the end of games when it counts.
I'll take this from the line any day...
Warren was 13/15
White was 8/10
Graham was 5/6
