UTEP’s game plan was simple, and the execution was top notch as the Miners set a blue print in slowing down the high powered Marshall offensive attack.
Play smart, slow the pace down, move the ball, rebound, pound the paint, and let Matt Willms do his thing we’re simple pillars of an upset.
All that, and more came together and added up to a 91-68 road win at Marshall, snapping an eight game road losing streak dating back to last season.
Matt Willms picked up right where he left off from Thursday, scoring 12 of UTEP’s first 18 points helping UTEP jump out to a 18-6 lead six minutes into the game.
