I like what I'm seeing..UTEP getting it's (a) ss whipped in a Division III tournament.Look at all those bandwagoners crying there.You b! tch and moan all year about UTEP then they get in some tournament that I would be willing to bet half of you never heard of and you're all UTEP fans now...idiots

[Crooked City]

I don't get it...Oregon St. travels with the ball but yet UTEP takes 4-5 steps and no traveling is called.Refs must be from Vado

[Crooked City]

5 straight bricks from the FT line....build me a house boys.Culpecker crying like a pvssy

Well, well, well. Utep is a 20+ win team. OSU is a team that went 0-18 in league last year. Utep has superior athletes, could it be brains over brawn? OSU takes the CBI Championship (as a .500 team). Miners better use that pick to dig themselves a hole to hide in from the embarrassment.

Before some retard Miner fan gets on saying how they played with heart and all you guys have to realize that you are pretty terrible.

Oregon St. had a losing record and played in your sold out house. These guys came in and took your candy and basketball nets in front of your wives and girlfriends. Good luck in the CBI next year. LOL!

[Crooked City]

Culpecker and Jackson were crying like pvssys.There's no crying in basketball.Maybe UTEP will have better luck next year in a Div.IV tournament.Maybe they'll beat Univ.of Western California Tech A&M State

[UTEP sucks]

Same story every year, since 1966, UTEP sucks. UTEP prides themselves as the only TEXAS team to win a national championship, only texas team still in a tournament, only CUSA team still playing.

Come on el paso, this is like Bowie High School Baseball, we haven't won anything in present time. Only thing we are good at is soccer (couple years ago an el paso high school won) and thats about it.

All year long nobody showed up to the UTEP games, now we are in this high school tournament and now everybody goes, its sold out games. Its all about the bandwagon with El Paso, admit it, we el pasoans jump on any team that is winning. ha ha haha

im glad utep lost this fake tournament.

[gonzo]

We gave up too many points!!! Too bad...I know it is only CBI championship but it would be nice to win last game at home. I think the expectation should be NCAA tourney next year. Last two games showed El Paso is hungry for big stage. Go Miners!

[Milliemom1]

I am ashamed of the lack of class of UTEP fans. Pretty cool to show the nation we boo teenagers that are handing us our lunch. Congrats OSU. Just know not all UTEP fans are morons, just most.

Congrats to Oregon State! Let's have a goal to play in the NCAA tournament next year. 4 years is plenty of time.....

CBI, Tier III Tournament.........call it what you want. The UTEP basketball team had El Paso buzzing again with excitement. Let's face it....Sports are in the entertainment business and this CBI provided a very entertaining & exciting Championship Series for those who watched it. Way to Go UTEP. Good Luck next season. Always a UTEP FAN!!!!

Will you come get us after work? You know, at that job where you say "do you want fries with that?" hundreds of times during your shift?

[PissedElPasoan]

This is stupid and humiliating. We should have won with superior athletes. Stephon Jackson's resume for the NBA has been ruined because he couldn't win a Division III championship and be the leading scorer in UTEP history. I am disappointed and its always the same in Football pure crap!!

[nopainnogain]

wow some of the posters here need to grow up. it's a freakin basketball game & ppl had fun going to watch & cheer the team on. big fing deal if it wasn't the ncaa's. you make the best of what you have to work with & try to have some fun. crooked city, you need to remove whatever is crammed up your @$$ & chill out dude. I didnt see anything wrong with the officiating from either side. & if this is a division 3 tournament, how bout you name which of the teams in the bracket were division 3 in bball. Buck Toothed Varmints, it's funny how you try to talk trash about utep by bragging that oregon state went 0-18 in league last year. congratulations, do you want a cookie?

besides, the only reason osu won the series is because they decided to shoot out of their minds from the 3-point. a 35% 3-point team just happens to go 53% & 63% in 2 of the 3 finals games, after they went 33% in the 1st 3 games of the CBI. sorry buddy, but that's what you call luck, I don't care how much you try to blame utep's defense.

to pissedelpasoan, what does b----ing & moaning & indignation solve? if it's such pure crap & you feel it's your God-given right to cheer an ultra-successful school why don't you jump ship & cheer the UT longhorns like 80% of the city? maybe take a slice of humble pie & try to have some fun for once w/o being such a negative douche
