Great win! Probably the biggest win of Slessinger's career so far.

Nice to get a BIG win again. I have been singing Sless's praises to everyone who would listed about the type of human being he is. I thought it would be a while until I could actually pump up the team. However, last last I was sending text messages to all my UNO buddies. Even got nice coverage on Channel 4's 10pm newscast.

Nice article from Jeff Eisenberg at Yahoo Sports. Tim Floyd visited the Privateer locker room after the game to offer congrats.

That's a great article.

Man, it's a great feeling to really enjoy a big UNO hoops win again.

Thank you Coach Sless!

That is a very nice article.

Anyone know if there's a way to get a vid of the game or see it somewhere, free?

A little perturbed that there was no mention of UNO's win over UTEP in the New Orleans Advocate outside of the score. No article. No briefing. I thought that it was because it was a late game, and that it would be in today's paper.
Nothing. In a few months when my subscription runs out, I'll have to decide between the Advocate and the TP. I may go back to the TP. The Advocate may be trying to satisfy too many schools, and not doing a great job with any of them outside of LSU.

I have to commend WWL though. The game clips were shown on yesterday afternoon's broadcast along with Coach Floyd's comments.

I did find this article online in the Advocate:


EL PASO, Texas — Kevin Hill made one free throw with eight seconds remaining to give New Orleans just enough of a cushion to hold on for a 71-69 men’s college basketball win over UTEP Monday night.

UTEP (5-5) still had a chance for the win but Jalen Ragland, who led the Miners with 19 points, missed a 3-point shot. Cedrick Lang got the rebound with one second remaining but could not make the layup.

New Orleans (3-4), led by Cory Dixon and Matt Derenbecker with 12 points each, trailed 36-34 at the half.

A tip-in by UTEP’s C.J. Cooper tied the score at 60 with 5:24 remaining. The Privateers pushed their advantage to 65-60 following a jumper and 3-point shot by Derenbecker. UTEP closed to 65-64. New Orleans had a 69-67 lead with 1:20 remaining. Derenbecker made one free throw. Lang followed with a layup as UTEP moved to within one 70-69.

I sent an email to the Advocate expressing my dismay about not seeing an article about the UTEP game in the paper. I did not expect to see it in Tuesday's edition, as it was a late game. I was hoping that it would be in Wednesday's edition though. A couple of people emailed me back. Both said that the story came in too late and missed the deadline. Ted Lewis said that they would have done well to have run it back in print on Wednesday, which is what I was hoping for. Both said that it was in the online edition.

The Advocate is planning a story next week before the Michigan State game and then before the conference opener.
