Hoping for a good one though!

6', 6'8", 6'8", 6'10, 7'1"

Damn. That's a huge lineup! Maybe we'll run circles around them!

That's been the mantra so far against us. Hasn't worked all that well yet. But, I have a feeling that we might be ready for a letdown, and this would probably be the best place for that to happen.

Mmmmmm....Danish haymakers..

Although Larsen rarely sees the floor, Jones utilizes him similarly to how a hockey coach uses their "goon", to mix things up and get under the other team's skin. Known primarily as an (over)aggressive rebounder, fierce defender, and his extremely hard fouls, Larsen has quickly developed a reputation around the CUSA for ensuring the other team is wearing their protective cups and his freely-swinging elbows in the paint. A true battler, he could be the reason UTEP may start with 4 really tall guys, but will probably not finish with them. To date this season, he has claimed 2 different opponent's teeth, 2 black eyes (one requiring stitches) and a broken nose to his trophy case. I hope his services will not be needed this evening, but if so, please ensure you give him a wide berth - he can literally erupt at any time for the most seemingly insignificant perceived slight towards him.

That's ok, tonight he meets Lang the Enforcer...

If I was a Monarch fan, I'd bring a blo-gun with poisoned darts....would take at least a dozen to take him down....he's Fred freakin' Munster.

Glad to hear well have visiting team fans in the house. No utsa fans on Thursday.

Welcome to Virginia.

See you tonight.

Enjoy the game...

6', 6'8", 6'8", 6'10, 7'1"

PG Cooper 6'0"
SG Washburn 6'8"
SF Hunter 6'8"
PF Bohannon 6'11" (not 6'10")
C Willms 7'1"

Off the bench:
PF Lang 6'10"
C Vint 6'11"
G-F Flaggert 6'7"

Flaggert is 6'7"? I thought he was around 6'5". No wonder he runs like he has cement shoes. LOL He needs to work on his footwork and be like his taller teammate Washburn.

Go Miners!

Enjoy the Ted Constant Center! Many ODU fans are going in large part to see what UTEP is all about, I think ODU will struggle without Dimitri Batten as he's the only player on the team that can get to the rim at a high rate.

Vegas has UTEP by 1.5. Should be a grinder.

I'm looking forward to the game. I'll be on section 114 row C seat 1, right behind the end of the UTEP bench in the 3rd row.
Go miners!

Hey UTEPSAL, While you can say i am promoting tourism but here's how you get 100% out of your trip money. VABeach, Ghent, Downtown and baybridge tunnel and if you have clearance the worlds largest Naval and Amphibious base are the places to be. Who knows you may end up seeing these giants lined up.

thanks! I wil spend the whole day sightseeing tomorrow and definitely catch some of these sights!

Were you the guy in the bright orange sweatshirt in the "UTEP" section in Minges?

I had a UTEP shirt and at the end of the game I put on my UTEP sweatshirt. I was behind the ECU bench on the corner.

I will see you ODU fans ,that are going, at the game. I will be on section 114 row C seat 1 right behind the end of the UTEP bench. I am on my way out there now to grab a bite and go see out Miners, go miners!

Welcome to Norfolk! Enjoy your helping of Ice Cream and Cake.

All of which were his own, acquired by tripping during lay-up drills.

That one time last year he got taken off the court for having blood on his uniform, I swear it was that of his victims.
