    Yeah Memphis didn’t win the one that counted the most. You’re not beating a KS team 3 times in one season


    Champs again. Time for the big dance!

    Congrats to Coogs. Didn’t think they could beat Memphis and glad I was wrong.

    I am so proud to be a UH grad. The Coogs rose to the occasion in the season's biggest game. This was the most satisfying win of the season. Memphis has had our number, but not today. So proud of all the guys, but White especially. He came out with a hurting back and played great.

    UAB has a 7 ' center and a 6'10" forward on their roster. Anybody know much about them?

    Limited players. Their best player is their guard Walker who UH has seen the last two years bc he transferred from Tulane

    I was concerned with our short bench playing 3 games in 3 days. They sucked it up and it might have been a boost for us that Memphis played a hard game vs SMU yesterday.

    I'm amazed that this team did what it did this year after Sasser and Mark went down. Its a credit to the culture and CKS and what he has built at UH.

    Looking at the bracket, if UH gets through the first two rounds they will face Arizona, the number one seed. Not the superhighway they had last year.

    Arizona has to make it there too ;)

    Coogs have a puncher’s chance to come out of this bracket, although they’ll have to catch a lot of breaks given their lack of depth.

    But just making the round of 16 for the third tournament in a row would be a phenomenal accomplishment given their injuries this year…and if Sasser and Mark come back, next years team will be stacked :D

    I've heard that one of Arizona's starters (Kriisa) is currently out with a sprained ankle. If he keeps missing games, we definitely have a chance.

    That's my brief stint too, they balled out. I used to see Mack just about every week before CHEM. I love watching these CKS teams play even more.

    Crazy. Sampson really pulled this program out of a coffin that was buried in six feet of ****.

    They better take them seriously. One game at a time. Every body in the Tournament can beat you. Check the Final Four predictions on Yahoo. Most are goofy in my opinion.
