There were two sections of the stands that were predominantly LSU fans. Quite a few LSU fans sprinkled throughout the other sections too but the overall crowd was 90% UH. I will say that the LSU fans that attended were very vocal.
Yep, there was this annoying ******* in the first row on the left of section 120 and every time the started LSU chants we just followed it up with "sucks" - works well
Good win for you Coogs. Sampson has definitely gotten the team trending in the right direction although I think they're at the least, one year away from making noise on the national level. Probably 2-3 more years is a more realistic timetable for the turnaround to be complete. What's the attendance numbers looking like this season?
Well, it's apparently in OT with the Coogs trailing. Gonna be hard to swallow after that loss to Grand Canyon... which apparently is a college.
Impressive win against Temple on national TV the other day. Sampson is the best coach in the city of Houston. Seems pretty quiet in here. Are yall not impressed yet? Hell, I'm excited and I'm just a t-shirt fan.
I'm excited, but I still need to see how we match up with teams like Memphis, UConn, and SMU. I'm still not sure how good we are yet.
Really like Rob Gray Jr, dude's floaters are dead on We need to get people to go out and pack the Hof like football....the Hof isn't even a big arena already...it looks so sad and dead every time I go watch a game...i feel bad for the players and especially now that we are 13-2..
Stay thirsty. What I like is that we can put the ball in the basket. It will all come down to can an athletic stone wall defender shut Gray down. Or can Gray continue to get his shot. Watching that Oklahoma game, I don't think we can compete with a team like that. They were so damn good. As was Kansas. I mean that was a ridiculous level of basketball on display. But we certainly have top 64 talent, and I think we can get to the sweet sixteen or the Hateful 8 with what we have going for us. This is going to be a big year.

Eh I'm not sure that is fair.. The UH football program has had way more success than the basketball program in recent years. UH had two strong coaches in Briles and Sumlin so its not like the program was a graveyard before Herman showed up. Herman has certainly taken the program up a notch with his recruiting and success in year one but lets not pretend that football and basketball were on equal footing before Herman and Sampson showed up. Basketball has been pretty bad outside of that year where they won the conference tournament and got into the NCAA tournament. Its a little harder to get big success when your program has been useless for decades.
Big game tomorrow for the UH Coogs against the 4-time national champs UConn. Tip-off is @ 1 pm CT on CBS Sports Network.

Went to the game against Uconn. Who is that Rob Gray Jr kid? Because he was out there playing like he was James Harden. ISO'ing, getting mad at his teammates for not giving him the ball, and taking dumb ass jump shots
