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.

Regular season and post-season, the road to any post-season dancing is running through the defending C-USA champs again in 2011.

UTEP Plays Stone Solid "D" in Win

Duke Keith — Thu, 06 Jan 2011 18:04:45 +0000

But what the heck, it’s too good to hold back… McCulley’s finish was spectacular, but you can also see once again that [...]
