December 10, 2012 If you're a basketball fan like me, you've seen thousands of free throw attempts. But I've never seen a free throw attempt this bad.
Check out this video in which Brian Okam attempts a free throw for Appalachian State and it doesn't go very well.
Highlights from the players, insight from the coaches and more — Duke Keith recaps the Battle of I-10a, as the UTEP Miners clawed their way back to beat the NMSU Aggies at the Don Haskins Center Wednesday night.
As the Miners head to the Gulf for a three-game road swing, we'll give you a whiff of some home-cookin'. Here's UTEP freshman Julian Washburn's no-look reverse dunk from last Wednesday's 70-56 win over East Carolina.
"...The result was a rebounding bloodbath that the Miners were only too happy to claim. UTEP out-boarded ECU, 14-5, in the first half and by 20 in the game, 39-19..."
If there is anything more over-the-top than Lindsey Wilson College's Chase Spreen throwing in a buzzer-beating three-quarter-court game-winning bucket, it was the call of the game by an unknown play-by-play man. Awesome!
Miners head men's basketball coach Tim Floyd talks about UTEP's first win of the season over Cal-Riverside. The Miners had their issues throughout the game, but shot well both early and late in the second half as lanky freshman Hooper Vint knocked down two big three-pointers to seal the victory.

Now you see it, now you don't.
An opportunity for the UTEP Miners to not sweat Selection Sunday escaped them like a 12-point second half lead. Like a missed free throw. Like a long rebound.
UTEP let the Tigers run; and slowly, surely, those Tigers kept nibbling away at the Conference USA tournament championship until they consumed it at the death.
UTEP head coach Tim Floyd was fired up about the lack of respect for Conference USA after the Miners 66-54 C-USA Tournament semifinal win over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, saying he thought it was "ridiculous that we have to win a 26th game" to get into the NCAA tournament for a second straight season
UTEP head coach Tim Floyd, and Miners Julyan Stone and Gabe McCulley talk about UTEP's 75-65 win over the Marshall Thundering Herd.
Talk about getting hosed by the refs! Here's ESPN's broadcast of the end of the Big East Tournament game between St. John's and Rutgers. The refs just stopped reffing when a St. John's player 1) traveled, 2) stepped out of bounds, 3) threw the ball in the air all BEFORE the clock ran out! Numbers 1 and 2 should've stopped the clock. Number 3 would be a technical with the clock running. It was for that Louisville cheerleader.
George Washington University's basketball program is pretty good. It certainly inspires passion, even among the faculty. Sure, they may be effete liberal egg-heads, but it doesn't mean they can't feel hoop fever
