Yep. Wonder if his brother still lives in the El Paso area. Maybe we could send him some tickets.
I saw the game he talked about and i saw him that next morning. Its funny how rutgers suddenly cleaned those girls up when the outrage started.

this game sold-out in 12 hours, if you count the hours the ticket center was open. Our AD said that we were selling 1,000 tickets per hour. Saturdays have will sellout by noon tomorrow or even earlier. I wish they could find a way to sell standing room only tickets but I'm not sure its possible for that

The next best thing to NCAA success is NIT success, and - if UTEP wins the WNIT - the conference's reputation in women's basketball should improve dramatically.

Just got home from the ticket center, 10:30 local time, and there were less than 3,000 tickets left. Not too many people behind me in line, around 100 so there should be some tickets in the morning. I do think it will sell out by noon tomorrow.

They were right about this teams 3 point shooting. They couldn't miss. This is a very good team. I think the crowd plus the full court press did them in. What was scary was those two successive 3 pointers at the 30 second mark. It's just a very good thing that the Miners can shoot free throws or we would have been goners.

It sure is, and it would have happened without the fan support. I also think that it was THE deciding factor in the game last night. The crowd definitely help UTEP on defense, by inspiring the women and making communication for SDSU very difficult. I also think the amount of travel they had to do led to them having tired legs at the end of the game.

Hey, whatever works. Tired legs and all.
I told my friend that if the Miners do all their shooting from the free throw area we could win all of our games with that great free throw shooting percentage we have.
