    They mentioned the Elvin Fan Contingent about 20 times in the last 5 minutes...

    I could here them cheering thru the TV. It was nice to have a road crowd in Philly.

    Wish I could keep ESPN+ streaming for longer than 5 minutes at a time
    At least I get to cancel it as soon as this game is over though!

    I guess the ESPN+ works different depending on where you are receiving the signal. The game tonight was the first for me with no hiccups. It is usually 4 or 5 times mainly in the first half where the signal is lost. I have to reset to get a clean signal back. It can be a PITA.

    One thing I do like about ESPN+ is being able to watch replays. I went back and rewatched the Temple game in full. That second half was incredible. Best I can remember us playing all year.

    Back to tonight's game against Tulsa. The only thing in doubt in this one was when was Ryan Elvin going to get into the game. We need some of these type games so we can get more playing time for our role players. Glad to see Arceneaux, Sharp, and Francis get some extended playing time. We are going to need them to contribute down the stretch.

    Terrance rolled his ankle tonight in the 2nd half. Atleast they don’t play again until next Thursday but still a setback for him spending time getting treated and out of reps

    Disappointed we stayed at 2 but not surprised. More important to focus on rounding into form and finish regular season strong. We only have 6 games left including the two you mentioned with Memphis. Win these upcoming games and stay healthy and everything else will take care of itself.

    Alabama did beat UH at home, and came back from 15 down to do it. I guessed they would leap frog us into the top spot. All that matters is to continue to win and get a number one seed in the NCAA tournament. (and get revenge against Alabama in the Finals)

    Babalama does play Tennessee next, so maybe there's hope. But, of course, then Purdue would probably jump over UH.

    Bama will probably lose tonight vs Ten. The “rental” is a curse in itself. And we know the overall rated top team doesn’t fare well in March as history has showed.

    You know that it is still a crap shoot.

    UH has as good a chance as anyone, but it only takes one poor shooting game or an injury.

    There is skill and coaching involved, and Sampson is exceptional at coaching and building for the tournament.

    I think if UH gets to the Finals or wins it all, we will see someone take a fairly large step forward on the offensive end.

    Could be any of 4-5 people, maybe Sasser does it.... but if I had to guess, I think it would be Walker.

    well yeah it's still a crap shoot just like anything else. but seeing pretty much every team on that list, there's not a team I don't think UH can't beat. There's a number of pretenders on that list. This team is positioned from top to bottom to make the run to the very end and have all the boxes checked in what you need in a legitimate national title contender.
