First impressions of UTEP
The Miners play more as individuals and less as a team (especially when compared to Manhattan).They also seem less sure of themselves.
I believe they'll play with more confidence and cohesion as the game progresses. The only question is whether they can keep it close enough for their late resurgence to matter.
Also, Maryland looks better than did Florida in the early going. With Walsh injured, the Jaspers have a golden opportunity.
