Tonight's CBI Opener -- Who Wants It More?
Call me crazy, but does it sound like the UTEP Miners are a lot more excited about playing in the inaugural College Basketball Invitational tonight than the Utes do?
"We are not just playing in this tournament," freshman forward Gabriel McCulley said. "We are trying to win it."
Hmmm.
Never heard any of the Utes go quite that far. In fact, although they said all the right things, they seemed just the slightest bit uninspired during their last practice before leaving for tonight's game. Of course, that's just my perspective, and it doesn't necessarily mean anything, even if I'm right. Plus, you'd have to think coach Jim Boylen will have the Utes ready to play.
Certainly, the oddsmakers do, making the Utes only about a 1 1/2-point underdog tonight. But still, I have this sinking feeling that nobody is going to be exactly devastated if the season does not extend beyond the Don Haskins Center. We shall see ...

Sorry you don't get to go Mike. Not sure I am willing to pay $12.95 to watch, but I will be home with the theme from Color Purple blasting as I listen to the radio! GO UTES!
