The semifinal game went down to the wire and we fell just short against the Privateers. We may have taken a lot out of UNO which affected their effort against Tech the following night. Were we in CUSA, we would once again have the pleasure of going against Coach Tim Floyd as he is now at UTEP. Would not quite be the same intensity I imagine as the competition would not involve two state schools.
