    6:15 tip Friday against Miami. Nantz with the call. Houston favored by 7.

    Miami is really bad defensively but potent offensively. UH is potent at both.

    If they play to their capabilities, UH should absolutely throttle Miami.

    All you guys that follow UH. Are you hoping Walker ends up on the Rockets are not so much?

    I think Rockets pass on Walker because they are drafting top 3 by the mocks I have seen Walker will probably go in the 6-10 range.

    Speaking of the blocks record since it came up yesterday it didn't become an official stat until 1985 but prior to that UH did track them and Olajuwon had 3 games of 8 blocks in the tournament.

    If we trap, and they get the ball out, they can make us pay as literally everyone can shoot it. If we don't trap, we have a better chance to stay in their grill. We won't make the same mistake we made against Auburn which was to change our defensive scheme in anticipation of what they do best. Good news is we have a week to plan. Think we trap, see what happens, and if it doesn't work then we abandon and play it straight. They will have a hard time choosing to run or protect the glass.

    I thought Miami was a better matchup for us so I'm kinda happy about that but man Indiana vs. Sampson would've been epic.

    I am glad we are not playing Indiana. Did not care to hear the back and forth from the talking heads about what Sampson supposedly did to get let go there. Maybe instead the focus will be on the players and the teams and provide more analysis on what to expect. If we play like we did in the 2nd half against Auburn I don't see any problems advancing to the elite eight.

    Line is back up to Houston by 7 according to ESPN.

    Eh the media is gonna media. Storylines win the day.

    The thing about Indiana is that their fans are the biggest goobers in all of college basketball. Maybe even all of American sports period.

    Miami will bring far less fans and far less attention so I'm kinda bummed tbh.

    But the real prize is possibly getting to see a UT/UH elite eight.

    Inshallah.

    If you're looking for any lengthy interviews, 2 of them are going to be kind of busy this week.

    Random.


    In the past for Final 4 games at NRG - just tickets were available.


    I’m looking now for the finals and it’s only packages (meet and greets, photo ops, etc) which I don’t care for. Are they selling tickets without the packages (not resell platforms)?

    I think we're likely to be picking at 4 or 5.
    And, I'm full speed ahead on Walker becoming a Rocket. Yes, we need to make a move to improve, but not at the cost of losing this guy.
