Um....perhaps someone needs to forward this to the UA staff? I know, it's just a message board post...but still

oh and 7 of their 10 posts in that thread are picking us to lose. Man their fans must think very little of the #3 team in the land.

El Paso? I spent a month there one night.

I am pretty excited to watch this one. Kid and pregnant mommy in bed already...kegerator full of porter...a chill in the air...friends and family in town for the holiday's....

Lots to like about this one.

I wanted us to blow them out just to stick it to Floyd, but now I want to embarrass them because of their jackass fans.

Lmao they almost all think utep will win

Back in the WAC days this was a really tough place to play. I remember the crowd throwing coins at the players on the court. There. Crowd will be excited so we will need to play well.

VIP Box or just google watch Fox Sports 1 near game time and im sure youll find something. FOX Sports GO mobile app too

What the hell with the shyty time? Yeesh. . . fuck Larry Scott.

Is that like 10pm in El Paso? My goodness that's a late tip. Going to be a nuttcutter I think

No - El Paso is in the Mountain time zone.

is the game on yet? no? fuuuuucking late ass time.

No matter what I'm going to bed at halftime.

Long workweek packed with office Christmas parties, getting accosted for project updates, losing dignity to Xerox printers, up late staring at empty computer screens awaiting text - had the tempo of my not so long ago UA finals weeks.

FS1 just said we're a good shooting team. Guess this channel is good for something!

Arizona is a good shooting team? Didn't these guys get the memo?

badfan

best stream I've found of the game, for anyone looking
http://wiz1.net/channel28
not sure on the delay, I'd assume at least a minute.

if anyone finds a better/HD stream let me know please.

Get can we get some news on fungi and not real analysis on basketball?

player intros... pretty loud bunch in attendance

Time to ruin the El Paso Super Bowl.

The mid-major internet fans I've found to be the trashiest. San Diego State these last 3 or 4 years for example. Lot's of anger from them.

No idea, but at least it's the guy who most likely won't play at all. Maybe academic stuff?

I am prepared for a lot of gimmick defenses.

here we go!!

Those blues are so sexy

There you go Bash!

Bash starts out the scoring.

bash setting the tone

Of course FS1's scoreboard is not working.

Yeah I wish I knew. Wasn't listening to pre-game show, I'd assume they mentioned it there at some point.

Agreed that it's good it's not a more "important" player for us, but still I wonder what's up.

Great ball movement leads to a York 3.

Means Victor is academically ineligible or more likely transferring/leaving the team

Great start

Nice Gabe! Exactly what we need!

hot hands

Wow a nice shot from TJ!

Team is dialed in!

McConnel just blew by everyone, on D & O

I like that little turnaround jumpshot from TJ

gonna need to box out/rebound

Bash with a 3!
