    We were overmatched against Baylor. This Miami team is red hot and we played awful.

    Miami was on fire. Hard to beat a team that’s just red hot like that. **** happens...

    They outplayed us in all phases of the game. Give them credit. They had a game plan and executed it to perfection. When Sasser missed that open three when we were down four and chance to cut it to one and keep the momentum going that was a huge miss for us.. Afterwards we could not hit the broad side of the barn.

    75 is more than enough to win almost every game in this tournament if they play even 1/2 as good as they’re capable of doing on the defensive end. That’s the let down. This isn’t on the offense, even as bad as it’s been from the 3 point line

    Tip of them hat top Pack dude was unconscious. Fun season. I was really hoping to watch UH in NRG. Not mad, sad or pissed. This tournament is really hard to win.

    Humiliating loss by my alma mater but probably inevitable given their over reliance on Sasser all year.

    It was a great season, a great run. Thought that this might be the year, but this team needed to be injury free and firing on cylinders offensively and defensively to make the Final Four. Didn't happen.

    They played better than us. Too many injuries finally bit. So disappointed for the kids, but grateful for them too— this was an easy team to root for, all season long. Go Coogs!

    This was my point.

    It's just not how this team is built to win games. They're not outscoring people.

    I'm upset we lost but it will save me from the temptation of spending stupid money to go to the game next Saturday.

    On paper it was very even. Except for shooting percentage.

    Sometimes the ball goes in the hoop a lot for the team you don't want to.

    Fwiw, Miami fans barely seemed to care.

    I hope Texas wins and then ass ****s them into the dirt on the way to a title.

    Thinking back on to this team and i'm a little tight about wasting a spot on a transfer that never played

    Burned a scholarship on "practice" player

    SDSU winning would be the best outcome

    Lets go, Aztecs!

    I am too and I have no connection to UH other than history, my childhood being a fan, the City, and 9 hours of continuing education postgrad classes.

    I feel for you guys.

    Would have been worse to lose on some rando buzzer beater though, because then you'd ask yourself "whatcouldabeen?" forever

    "Pissed" and "mad" are pretty close. I haven't watched a college game all season where one of the team's shot threes like Miami just did. That was a clinic.

    I was rooting for Houston but really I'd rather watch the 30 for 30 on Phi Slama jamma every day for the rest of my life than watch this group of cougars outhustle Tulane 60-52
