McKenzie Moore and Jalen Ragland suspended indefinitely for conduct detrimental to the team. This is Moore's, arguably the best player on our team, second suspension in about two weeks. This is slowly devolving into the season from Hell for UTEP.

When will he get it through his thick frickin head, that the coach isn't messing around?

Here we go again, I wonder if its something really bad... Or ticky tacky again... what a crappy season this has become... SO much hope, hype, and it's becoming a dud... Miners lose Moore, and they lose at least 5 wins.., or more.

And we're down by 1 to Western Illinois at half.

And now down 10 with 5 minutes left. Sorry rest of CUSA.

I don't know about UTEP but when players for Charlotte get "suspended indefinitely" it usually means they're kicked off the team.

Shouldn't we,at this point in Floyd's tenure,have enough to beat the likes of UNO and Western Illinois regardless of who we have on the floor? What a disaster.

I'll save certain ECU fans the trouble: an indefinite suspension at UTEP means one game, you know, because of that thing that happened a decade ago.

You'd also think that being around Floyd for a year and a half or more, the players would realize that they should be on their Ps and Qs. But, they're not and we're not.

On a somewhat more positive note, we've cut it to 1 with 2 minutes left.

We dodged a bullet!

The guys had what was needed to pull the W.

67-64 Miners win. Excuse me for not jumping for joy. Happy we didn't lose. Pretty much pissed off at everything else.

Under normal circumstances, we should. But when you think of what has happened with Hamilton, Spight, and a couple of others, it's a combo of things that produced the perfect storm.

We gotta weather this. But most of all, Moore and Ragland need to pull their heads out of their arse.

Agree on all points. But I don't want to deny credit to guys like Hunter, Cooper, and others, who did what they had to, to come from behind.

At some point, players also need to hold other players accountable.

Had to give my tickets away for tonight. Was able to follow the game with the EP Times on-line updates.

Those who were there- What was your assessment?

I thought Crosgile was at a point where he could be counted on to step in?

Sounds like this situation is a bad one... With Moore.

I think they're in trouble with the university.

It seemed like we played a lot of one on one bball tonight. Nobody's shot was falling. I think, tonight was a night that we seemed to drive to the hoop more often than we have the rest of the season. Vince Hunter is the effing man, he is going to be so damn good it's crazy.

I don't understand why Washburn doesn't take his man to the hoop as often. There was a couple times tonight, on 3 step moves (I don't know if that is what you call them in basketball, but in soccer, the first 3 steps are the most critical,) that he not only got by his defender, but was able to cut in front of him after getting passed him, and this is with him on the ball. I think Washburn is so athletic, I wish he would take his man on more often.

I've been trying to tell people for years that this is what was going to happen but no one wants to listen.

Just remember who predicted it first.

I'm gonna call you out on this. You made a big stink on rivals after the UNO game and have disappeared since. What gives?
