Love Coogs and -4.5

 

Shead is a really great point guard. Surprised by how quickly and smoothly he took over as the floor leader.

 

Game day. Lets get back to the Sweet 16!

 

I know the Coogs are a good team and this season has been a success considering the injuries. But somehow I feel we need a win, specifically a return to the sweet 16, to validate the season. That's the problem with a weal schedule, you really don't know how good you are. Felt the same way about the football team and Auburn.

 

Let's get it! It's go time.

 

UH doing a good job of denying Cockburn early and suffocating him when the ball touches his hands

 

Both defenses playing their asses off.

eta: that was a very weak flagrant call.

 

W/o Sasser & Mark ...Sampson's greatest coaching job.

 

Beautiful set

 

Coleman Hawkins from Illinois was Jalen Greens teammate at Prolific Prep

 

this the type of game were we would be up big with marcus sasser on the court but them's be the breaks

just win

 

Coogs faded at the end of the half, non-typical mental mistakes gave up some easy points.

 

I'm sitting behind Kevin Eschenfelder lol.

Refs the last 5 minutes of the first half were trash. Should be leading by 15.

 

A view from my seat

 

That Cockburn guy is massive. Just much bigger than everyone. Even his head is like twice the size. Like nine Little Macs and a Tyson out there.

 

Injury?

He was born in Dallas. Good to see Metroplex guys choosing Houston. I accept them if they have game

 

Wow. Refs are starting to step up for Illinois now.

 

The fouls are just being called so one sided in favor of Illinois.

 

I see the referees are pulling their bullshit once again on a Houston franchise

Go Coogs!

 

12 fouls on each team. 12 FTs for each team.

It's been a physical game and the refs have been terribly inconsistent on what actually constitutes a foul, but it hasn't been 1-sided.
