Defense is fun to watch, so is the backcourt on offense, let's see if the uh oh can keep it up in the second half

 

Feel like Tech will get it in gear in the 2nd half to make this a closer game, but our D is legit!

 

Lol these college refs are terrible. Goal was obviously to get tech back in the game

 

cant wait till mills is 100% because we miss our closer.

 

Great win. Makings of a top 10 team this year

 

Good win.

Deeky takes WAY too many bad shots.

Wondering if Mills reaggravated his ankle as he only played a couple of minutes.

 

Love watching Sampson’s teams play. Always tougher than hell, and the rebounding is just phenomenal.

 

Coogs 3pt defense allowing 12% from beyond the arch through the first 3 games.

 

Well, that game was not fun, that game was ugly as f**k.

 

Nice win against a ranked opponent. We controlled from start to finish other than a stretch in the second half due to some questionable calls by the refs and Jarreau losing his cool. As talented as he is he sure does stupid stuff at times. Someone needs to teach him how to dunk. There were at least a couple of times he did not finish at the rim. Once Millls gets back to 100% we are going to be loaded at guard. If the covid doesn't get in the way it is going to be fun to see who emerges as the leader of the team this year. Achilles heel - wish we had a little more depth at F/C. It seems that because the way we play and the way they officiate college basketball our bigs have a tendency to get in foul trouble.

 

I've seen some of the rebounding/defensive drills and routines they do in practice. Oh boy it isn't pretty. These dudes go at it. It's no wonder these teams have been one of the clear cut best in rebounding year after year.

UH might already move inside the top 10 after just the first week

 

Coogs are really good, but hey need to learn to handle pressure defense. It was a problem last year that has carried over.

 

Great win...from start to finish, they controlled the game.

 

As to Yolo's point about rebounding.

Sampson has a drill that he's had for yrs where they put a cone over the rim so there's no way the ball goes through the goal. The ball bounces at crazy angles once it hits the cone and it gets them to watch the flight of the ball (and from where the shot was taken) so they get into a habit of anticipating where the ball may go once it hits the cone but more importantly the desire to go get it and they better DAMN well go get it or they will not see the court playing for Sampson.

It's a brutal drill but it's one of the main reasons Sampson's team are good rebounding teams (not just defensively but offensively as well).

 

He’ll be a Rocket before you know once again after he wins a national championship. You can bet your ass on that

 

Bar humbug Buck

 

I thought so for this last coaching search. I’m glad it didn’t happen, but I fully expected him to be coaching the Rockets this year. He’s a phenomenal coach, I’m sure he will have plenty of opportunities if he wants one.
