Memphis with the miss, Coogs call timeout up 7 with 1:26 left. Marcus Oliver stepping up with 25 points.
Wagner has fouled out! Oliver hits 1 of 2, Coogs up 8 with 1:17 left... Another Memphis miss and foul, Coogs to the line, this game's all but over!
I saw the first half, Oliver was playing extremely well. The Coogs were shooting something sick like 70% w/ about 5 minutes left in the half. I didn't know Truscott had a j, thought he was just a scrapper.
This is GREAT for the UH program. With all the HS and JUCO talent in the area, the Coogs could be at the beginning of something very good.
I hate the ending of college basketball games... 27.6 seconds, Coogs up 6, they're not helping themselves out at the FT line...
This is so great. This team really has good talent and a good coach. Glad to see things looking up. Could this mark a turn around in UH sports? Could it even begin a better reputation for the school? (Maybe we won't have to be looked down upon by US News since our reputation is so low. ) Fingers crossed!!!!!
Game. Set. Match Coogs win! 80-74 Bash the football team all you want, but you can't say anything about the basketball team. McCallum has done an unbelievable job and I don't see this program going anywhere but up... Next up...Marquette.
Thanks for the updates. Marquette is going to get hammered. UH is on their way to the NCAA! Tomorrow I'm supposed to be at the Patriot League Championship between American U and Holy Cross. Should be a good game. I hope UH plays late so I can catch them on radio or something.
Here's the Coogs audio link, for future reference: http://uhcougars.fansonly.com/sports/m-baskbl/sched/hou-m-baskbl-sched.html
Bringing this back to the top... Maybe someone should start a new thread for the Marquette game which starts at 4 PM today. What channel was the game on yesterday? Ch. 51? Tech OSU is on right now.
I found a link to the UH webpage. www.cougarhigh.com or www.houstoncommunitycollege.com I know, I know. Lame.
Hold on to that U.S. News First Tier University ranking...it ain't happenin' just yet. Maybe if y'all win the NIT.
