Houston Thread

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

The primary gap is related to Houston just being WAY better. Even without three guards, we don’t have a single player that would crack their top 8.

It’s a little eye opening. That’s why they typically beat us by a million in Houston.

You can tell Haith is losing the team a bit. Our offense has reduced to waiting for Horne to throw up a shot and hope it goes in.

Giving up 5 points in 30 seconds is how a bad team gets blown out
2 terrible turnovers in the last minute

Get the car warm to leave before the end

After that collapse I am heading home. No fun and no need for more punishment.

[Loca5174]

That is an 8-0 run. LETS GO!!!

 

[nevadanatural]

Well, we’re making a run, I hope we can keep it up.

 

[nevadanatural]

Hanging in there on the boards, 27-23.

 

[nevadanatural]

If we just hadn’t been down 17 at half this would be really exciting.

 

[I.I.]

Houston has one shooter. Tulsa has one shooter. Shootout………

 

[drboobay]

Back watching from my warm and comfy bedroom. Hoping my exit was some sort of lucky charm but the first thing I see is Haywood tossing the ball out of bounds...

 

[Loca5174]

LETS GO!!!!!!

 

[libertychamp]

LETS GO!!!!!!

This is Haiths coaching genius time late in the game comebacks and another close win or not.

 

[I.I.]

Graduates taking over. Horne and Jackson.

 

[nevadanatural]

We’re shooting 75% so far this half, putting it in the hole makes a difference.

 

[drboobay]

Dare I say that Houston looks rattled with their top three players out?

 

[TulsaAM]

DAMN this team has potential... sooooo frustrating

East Carolina beat Memphis on a last second shot, stranger things have happened

 

[drboobay]

Idowu has found his shot again like during our run last season.

 

[URedskin54]

Houston has better players than us. That’s why they’re #11, but the problems with our team are not and never have been principally a talent problem

 

[TulsaAM]

Pritchard can score from anywhere on the court... walk-on needs to take over the team as the floor general...

 

[TU 1978]

This is the fact that scares me about how Tulsa is matching up against the Houston team on the floor. I have been watching TU basketball since 1978 and I have never been more disheartened for the future of the program.

those of us who lived through the Jim King years recognize where we are now and it’s not good.

 

[drboobay]

Walk-on?

 

[t-townpod]

Houston has better players than us. That’s why they’re #11, but the problems with our team are not and never have been principally a talent problem

Disagree

 

[drboobay]

We cannot seem to stop Houston now.

 

[TulsaAM]

Walk-on?

I thought Pritchard walked on, maybe I am just trying to write a better underdog story

 

[nevadanatural]

We’ve actually made more shots now but they have 4 more threes and three more made free throws.

 

[t-townpod]

Talent wins

 

[URedskin54]

Disagree

We know

 

[drboobay]

Looks like we are done.

 

[libertychamp]

Talent wins

Bad coaching also loses close games.

 

[nevadanatural]

We’re passing up open shot after open shot now.

 

[drboobay]

We close games atrociously.

 

[t-townpod]

Sampson put Carlton on Horne game set match

 

[TulsaAM]

Deferring to Horne now... not good as you need to take what the defense gives you

Disappointing that Griffin isn't showing up more or the score board tonight

 

[nevadanatural]

We lost our confidence a few minutes ago and started passing on open shots then forcing tough ones with the clock running out.

 

[t-townpod]

8 blocks?

 

[Loca5174]

Haven’t scored in 4 minutes geez

 

[t-townpod]

We lost our confidence a few minutes ago and started passing on open shots then forcing tough ones with the clock running out.

We started missing shots

 

[nevadanatural]

Back to single digits for the moment. We were actually doing well on the boards but Houston has opened a 6 board lead the last few minutes.

 

[drboobay]

Just like the SMU game we collapse down the stretch.

Sickening.

 

[URedskin54]

Pick any season, we win 5 more games with Sampson as our coach with the same roster. We can’t even draw up plays to get shooters open against teams like LMU and Air Force.
