2-0 in El Paso this year, take on La Tech at 10:30pm EST tomorrow night.
80-70 win
5 players in double figures. Clayton would have been 6 but ended with 8 points.
Ingram and bryan had great games.
Thorne (2), Clayton (8 and Henry (5) combined for 15 points and the team still scored 80.
great way to start a tourney. any team can get hot and win it
Great victory tonight! Need to come out the same way against Louisiana Tech tomorrow night. It was good to see a balanced attack from the bench. Not complaining…but 12 missed free throws…can’t happen.
On to the Quarterfinals!
Good to see us playing hard and shooting well. Ingram was on fire! Gonna be interesting to see if we can be competitive with LA Tech this time around. We will need a much better game from Henry tomorrow night.
Somebody get this man an extension.
The Niners will beat La Tech.
Can we just stick to playing tournament games and nothing else?
Alaska, Puerto Rico and now this.
Why the hell can’t this team play like this all season long? Very frustrating.
I assume you mean hair extension…
Hasse didn’t come out on postgame for interview, sounds familiar.
The way this season has gone I’ll take a win any way we can get it.It didn’t hurt that UAB had two starters out…one was injured and another was sick.Neither dressed for the game.Let’s hope we can hang with LA Tech.Will have to play even better than tonight to be around at the end of that game.
Henry was less than 100 pct. was banged up in practice while in El Paso. Spent some time in ER. The UAB guys not playing hurt then but not as bad as their FT shooting. Plus Denzel and Bryan were playing inspired.
We can win this tourny. Will we? I don’t know. GO NINERS!!!
Major is now coaching like every game could be his last, and he’s right.
Said all wk we win gm 1. Then Uab missing half of squad…
Blowout city vs La Tech.
Still 7-9 in one bid leage, and his 2 ONLY conf tourn wins ever are flukes - richmond Ts game & uab missing its best players. His area of expertise?
4 years- you should at min have 5 wins to draw a $490,000 paycheck. A win in the conf tournament vs gimp team should not be Charlotte’s goalpost or move the needle.

You need to start a thread titled “Metro needs to vent” for posts like this. That way you can still be an eternal Debbie downer on this board, but it’ll be easier for everyone to avoid. Nobody in this thread is rooting for Major. We’re pulling for the players. Your pessimism is really getting old.
Went to bed when we were up 17 cautiously optimistic we would hold on. Glad to wake up and see we held on.
Hopefully LA Tech will also have 2 starters out.
Luckily for us, UAB missed even more free throws. They were shooting under 25% from the line before they hit 2 out of 4 to bring it up to 25% at one point in the 2nd half.
Good win. It is nice to see us play well again. Now, we only have to win our next 9 games.
Can’t we get this man a trophy? What a prophet.
UAB without two starters is still better than some of the teams we lost to, our success has not really had much to do with our opponents as much as our determination to get the W.
Solid contributions from everyone that played last night, score is deceiving. Probably could have gotten into the 90s if we hadn’t pulled the reigns back, but need to save our horses for Louisiana Tech.
