Osborne led UTEP scoring with 12 points 6 rebounds in 26 minutes. Kelvin Jones with 10/5 in 17 minutes. Paul Thomas 10/3 in 20. Disappointing production from our guard play. Harris had 4/3 in 26. Freshman Magee had 5/2 in 20. Flaggart finished with 0/2 in 17 despite starting the game. I didn't see the game since there was no stream or audio available so it's hard to get an accurate assessment of what just happened.

I wouldn't put too much stock into that game other than the guards struggling.

I had to read up on McGill U since I'd never heard of them. Of course I'd never heard of Laruentian U until we played them.

They beat Kent State by 7 in Costa Rica. Lost to Lamar by 7 and beat you guys by 2.

Earlier in Montreal they lost by 3 in OT to SMU. Got boatraced by Bammer and Towson.

This trip was perfect for the Toppers just for the players to bond and get to know each other. And that's not hyperbole. They're all new except Justin Johnson. I'm sure Floyd will have his boys playing tenacious dee by conference play.
