03/12/2010 - Tulsa, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jeremy Williams was a perfect 9-of-9 from the free throw line in a 17-point effort, and 25th-ranked UTEP cruised to a 76-54 win over UCF in the quarterfinals in the Conference USA Tournament.
Randy Culpepper, Isaac Gordon and Claude Britten each added 10 points in the win for the top-seeded Miners (25-5), who will face fifth-seeded Tulsa in a Friday semifinal. UTEP is currently riding a 15-game win streak, not having lost since January 13 at Houston.
Keith Clanton scored 12 points to pace the ninth-seeded Knights (15-17), whose season ends with five losses in seven games. Isaac Sosa contributed with 10 points in the lopsided defeat.
UTEP wasted no time putting this game out of reach in the first half. Williams had seven points during a game-opening 15-3 stretch, which ended with a pair of Culpepper baskets 5 1/2 minutes into the contest.
The Miners had a stretch a bit later where they scored 13 of 18 points, and another Culpepper layup had the margin at 30-14 with 7:20 until halftime.
To finish the period, UTEP scored nine straight points, culminating in yet another Culpepper made shot. His jumper in the final minute sent the Miners into halftime with a commanding 48-20 advantage.
Arnett Moultrie's basket early in the second half had UTEP's cushion at 31, and the outcome was never in doubt the rest of the way.

Mayweather picked to beat De La Hoya
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Golden Boy Oscar De La Hoya and his rival Floyd Mayweather Jr. arrived at the MGM Grand here Wednesday amid the pomp and pandemonium befitting two of the biggest stars in the sport who are about to duke it out for the WBC super welterweight crown this Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
As of Wednesday, MySportsbook.com closed its book with Mayweather a favorite to defeat De La Hoya at -170 (a $100 bet wins $70), while De La Hoya is a +140 underdog (a $100 bet wins $140).
Mayweather arrived at about 11:30 a.m. on a big truck with his face and a big "World's Best Pound-for-Pound" sign scribbled across the vehicle. He was accompanied by his entourage made up of rappers and his training team.
A crowd of close to 3,000 eager fans packed the MGM Grand lobby, with their cameras in tow, all trying to vie for position to get a good angle at Mayweather, who is acknowledged as the world's best fighter pound-for-pound.
Eric Gomez, Golden Boy Promotions vice-president, described the fan turnout as "amazing" and swore he had never seen anything quite like this event.
"The crowd was fantastic. Everybody was just too eager to see the two fighters," said ALA manager Michael Aldeguer, who was among those who waited at the lobby together with his ward Rey "Boom Boom" Bautista and AJ Banal.
De La Hoya made his own grand entrance at the hotel lobby at around 12:30 p.m. accompanied by GBP chief executive officer Richard Schaefer and trainer Freddie Roach.
The same group of fans who trooped to see Mayweather also lingered around to get a close look at De La Hoya, who has been secretly working out at a Las Vegas gym for days after arriving from his main training camp in Puerto Rico.
The golden boy then took part in a closed-door afternoon workout with Bautista and Banal. The two, along with Aldeguer and wife Christine, as well as an HBO crew were the only ones allowed inside the gym.
De La Hoya and Mayweather take part in today's final press conference before the official weigh-in this Friday.
Ring Magazine, the acknowledged bible of boxing, reported in its June 2007 issue that 12 out of 20 boxing experts it interviewed have favored Mayweather to defeat De la Hoya, with only 8 favoring the latter.
But Filipino ring icon Manny Pacquiao said in a recent interview with The Freeman's Emmanuel Villaruel that De La Hoya will win by unanimous decision over Mayweather.
