    I might favor 2015 Kentucky (even though they lost in the final four) against that MCW process team but for the most part this is right.

    This thread is a pretty good litmus test for posters that have allowed their negativity to let them lose touch with reality. The Rockets might not even wind up with the worst record. Jabari was consensus second team all American for a good Auburn team and presumably should be better than last year. He’s also at best the 5th or so best player on this team right now.

    The Spurs are a trash NBA team and have McBuckets who is presumably much better now than when he was national POY at Creighton.

    Boban would dominate the college bigs. College Jabari would hit all the jump shots. Sengun would have 10 assists at least.

    BUT, Silas would bench Boban and Sengun and would not run a play for Jabari.

    I think the Rockets win, but I’d be rooting for the Coogs. A hard-working, family-oriented winning machine built by Kelvin Sampson (and, uh, Tilman) vs. Silas’s embarrassing clown show. A loss might help shake things up.

    Is it an NBA game or a college game?

    Cougs home court with college rules and reffing... maybe they have a fighters chance.

    50% of the rockets roster consist of people who probably wont even be in the league in a few months. the other half is an ncaa team

    UH core rotation is easily G-league material at minimum. Guys like mark/shead/roberts are no different from fabian/kyler/armoni/galen who all went through the g-league. its funny how folks act like the G-league is elite and some level even average players can't be part of.

    Nix wouldn't even make the UH team. his fat scrub ass would be cut/not even recruited by KS. he's the complete opposite of what KS looks for on his roster

    Is the question about the Bucks? Doesnt look like it. so this post is irrelevant. Bucks and Rockets. a recent champion and 3 years in a row the worst team in the league. hmm i see the correlation. not

    you can gaslight all you want with these current rockets. like i said earlier they're a team with no identity, no leadership, pathetic defense, no direction. a team consisting of 19/20 year olds is nothing that KS wouldn't expose. I could give two shitts what you try to make yourself believe. all you're doing is backing an embarrassment of a professional organization who will continue to look like trash for years and which half this roster won't even be around when they finally look somewhat relevant at some point

    The fact that the rockets are a crappy NBA team doesn’t make the idea of a college team beating them any less idiotic.

    in the rockets case it sure does as they are as young as an actual college team which you actually don't see often

    We have to count in injuries so I doubt they would play an exhibition game and wait for everyone to be healthy.

    If Silas coaches, then Sampson got a chance.

    Just do it at a random time.

    Normally this would be a ridiculous question, but right now, the way both teams are playing, the Cougars could beat the Rockets. I’d say the Rockets would win a series, but the Coogs could steal a game from them.

    If you put this years rockets into the ncaa they would go undefeated and would be the greatest college team ever by a mile

    Deshaun Nix would be a centerpiece high usage star on a D1 team. Think about that before you continue the narrative.
