That’s game.

disappointing 2nd half. Outplayed outcoached.

lots of time to improve

 

Look at Coach Elvin out there!

 

"if this game was played in March, we'd be talking about this game for the next five years" -- Fran, on the broadcast today

This is good early season hoops.

Kansas vs Carolina was the same, yesterday

 

It is what it is.
We had no answer for that one guard and their big.

On the positive, they really did an excellent job making their free throws.

On to the next.

 

College basketball is so much more fun to watch than the current NBA

 

I'm glad more people realize this.

 

It’s not even close

 

To what?

 

Actually...it is a supposed "neutral" site as Birmingham will be "neutral" for next year's game. That's what it's about.

 

As much i know these games in November don't mean much in the grand scheme of things, this game has me feeling tight tho lol. I hate losing to these southeastern schools.

 

Exactly what you were commenting on.

College ball vs pro ball

 

Yes and that was what Auburn requested.

 

There was a lot of complaining when y'all ousted us in the Round of 32 in Birmingham when you were a #1 seed (rightfully so)...so, that went into the agreement.

BTW...attendance was 6901...so, it definitely could have been played at FC which shows an 8489 capacity. Our Neville Arena seats 9121. Not sure why the 19,000 seat Toyota Center was needed. I can tell you that there will be more than 6901 at Legacy Arena next year.I would bet my house on it.

 

Uh, dude, you lost to Yale in the 1st round last year.

 

Didn't say we didn't. What's that got to do with what I said ?

 

There was a lot of complaining when...

I remember zero complaining. UH knows what's what.

UH does not lose to Yale.

 

Trust me...UH was not happy about being a number 1 seed and playing Auburn in Birmingham (rightfully so). I didn't come to cause a problem...We inexplicably lost to Yale as you point out. We did not lose tonight. Congratulations on a great game. Have a great evening/morning. FWIW

Do I care? No. But Houston does, in fact: Some people care a lot



Or we don't until March, whatever works.

 

Cryer needs to step up late in close games to get his own shot or draw fouls. Who else can do it? Uzan seems more like a distributor. Sharpe a catch and shoot guy. Need a Shead, Sasser, Davis, Gray, etc. like in previous seasons.

 

We will have to play as a team because no "go-to" player is going to emerge from the crop on the floor. At least not someone we can trust. The system is going to get us a lot of wins as it always does, but our team and our system is flawed in similar ways to the past. And we are without an alpha dog. Although we may actually be a better free throw shooting team.
