Nothing personal but I want UTEP, Charlotte, LT and WKU to win. To make our path to a top four seed guranteed.

Marshall was dominant for about 10 minutes of the first half, but looks like they're gonna fall apart. On DTV 640 and 665 if anyone wants to watch.

Monarchs up 37-23 at the half.

Hopefully Rice's CUSATV feed works at some point tonight.

What happened to the UTEP vs FIU video feed? It was working in the 1st half.

Marshall came back and hung on 93-89

Marshall wins 93-89 over Charlotte. Marshall had so much bringing them down, but they pulled it out.

Two great PGs were on the court tonight, but Elmore's nickname should be Moses because he could part the Sea of Reeds to make it to the basket. Charlotte played really well on Senior night.

UTEP wins 90-76. If my math is correct UTEP clinches a top four seed with a RICE loss.

Hmm not sure how that works for us as we split with Marshall but beat Rice twice.

Monarchs win it 67-53. Now it's on to El Paso to determine third and fourth place seeding for Birmingham.

So Miner fans, do we want 3rd or 4th place? Easiest route?

I think we just want to win. So y'all can have 4th.

Good luck it's going to be difficult to leave the Don with a win.

Hope EP shows up, this team deserves a BIG crowd... What an amazing turnaround... Miners all the way to the dance! :)

Wow, I did not expect FAU to beat UTSA running away...

I knew we would lose at ODU. No biggie. But I had no idea I'd be subjected to what I can objectively say was the absolute worst Color Guy ever. Twardzik was worse than listening to 2 student announcers umm and umming their way through a game.

This is honest to God not sour grapes. I expected a loss. We lost at home to a better ODU and they weren't going to go out on senior night with a loss to a less talented team. But ODU really needs to beat the bushes if this is the best they can find. He's atrocious. And with the internet and streaming I've listened to a lot of home team announcers this year. The Florida twins had better guys than Twardzik.

Has anyone else listened to this guy? Other than the ODU fans that will homer in and tell me how great of a person he is. I need eye bleach for my ears.
