I know it's a tall order, but with a win we could end up at .500 in conference. Fantastic that we're in this position.
My OwlVision account is working for video and audio
Sloppy start. Down 10-2 at the 16:00 break. Poor defensive rebounding and Drone has the yips.
Only following along, but starting 1/8 seems not great
Not to mention 4 turnovers already
Now 13-6 Miners with just under 12 minutes to play in the half. Needless to say we're not shooting well and passing not nearly as crisp as last game
Now 18-11 with 7:26 left. Defense is keeping us in the game. UTEP announcers are very complimentary to the Owls
14-23 with 5:40 left. Come on Owls!
Keep getting to within 6 or so but can't closer than that. Missed FT's are a problem. Our FT shooting has declined in recent games with the exception of the FAU 18-18 effort. Still playing hard and hanging in there. UTEP announcers getting a bit frustrated.
27-20 with 3:12 left. Seth misses 2 of 3 free throws after getting fouled on a 3-point attempt.
Now 20-27 with 3 and change remaining.
Rice with 8 turnovers and 8 fouls so far
Good D leads to a Rice run and the Owls trail by 2...yes 2! 29-27 at the half...well done boys.
Incredibly we closed to 29-27 at the half. Marcus rescued us with 4 points in the last few seconds. This team just hangs in there!
Nice recovery from the slow start. Good to see Jackson continue his scoring from the last couple games after a lull
Enjoying watching these guys. They need to come out swinging in the second half. We can beat this UTEP team.
Our group was trying to decide if our opponents thought our pesky play reminded them of mosquitoes swarming around them or the little dog your Aunt has who wants to hump your leg all the time.
BTW Miner Vision or whatever they call it is a very good product...hopefully JK will get Owlvision to the same quality level.
Maybe this will be a game in which, for a change, the Owls come out hot in the second half.

Yes, it is a pleasure to watch. And the announcers know something about the opposing team and aren't complete homers.
One other observation from the first half. Jeremy Jones has played terrific defense and chipped in with couple of key buckets when we needed them.
34-31 Miners with 16:24 left
