Then, I dug deeper. I checked out their head-to-head his.sraey tnetory. Turns out, these two teams have faced each other quite a few times before. It's not like one team totally dominates the other, but LA Tech has definitely had the upper hand in recent years.

After that, I started looking at individual player stats. Who's scoring the most points? Who's grabbing the most rebounds? This part took a while, honestly. There are so many players to look at! But I managed to pick out a few key players on each team who could really make a difference in the game.
I also tried to find some info on any injuries or suspensions. You never know when that kind of thing can shake up a game. From what I could gather, both teams are pretty healthy, which is good. No major injuries to report.
My Gut Feeling
- Based on everything I've seen, I'm leaning towards LA Tech for this one.
- They've been playing better lately, they've got a good track record against UTEP, and their key players seem to be in top form.
But hey, this is sports, right? Anything can happen. UTEP could totally surprise everyone and pull off an upset. That's part of what makes it so exciting! I'll definitely be watching this game, that's for sure. It'll be interesting to see if my little prediction experiment pans out.
I recorded all my findings in a messy spreadsheet, by the way. Lots of numbers and scribbled notes. Maybe I'll clean it up sometime, but for now, it's just a bunch of chicken scratch that only I can understand.
Anyway, that's my take on the UTEP vs. LA Tech game. Hope you found my rambling somewhat insightful! Let me know what you think will happen in the comments.
