From the booth
The model favored UTEP to win, and the call landed.
UTEP's got this one locked up at 97 percent, and honestly, it's not even close. The Miners are getting a massive 25-and-a-half point spread at home, and the betting market's backing that in a big way. UTEP's been rolling over their last five games with better offensive efficiency, and Texas Southern's just not gonna have an answer for what's coming their way.
