Michigans offense is awesome. Whichever assistant is responsible, I want him yesterday.
This UCLA/Bama game shows that free throws are important.
That was part of it, but we also had the worst shooting day of the season that day. We still held UNC to 59 pts and I think TU was averaging close to 80 pts a game that season. Our next lowest scoring was 59 (ORU) and then 69 (Cincinnati in the NCAAs). Everything else was over 70 pts. While Coley being in foul trouble certainly hurt with the offensive boards and put backs he usually generated, the biggest problems were lack of foul shots for us (UNC shot 19, we shot 9, but UNC also forced the ball inside more, they only shot 12 3's). We shot 37% overall and 25% from 3. Our leading scorer was Swanson. Harrington and Heard combined for 10 pts, Shelton only had 2 when he was our leading scorer that year. Matter of fact, 6 guys were at 10 ppg on that team that year, only 2 of those 6 reached their avg. that day (Kurtz, Hill). It was an unfortunate day to have the worst shooting performance of the year.
Gonzaga is Gonzaga. They never seem to have bad games, just bad stretches. Michigan has been remarkably consistent as well...and so has Baylor. Those 3 teams are scary good. I have been impressed with the PAC 12 team. UCLA, USC, and Oregon are all crazy athletic teams that play a hard defense. Oregon State plays a little differently and more methodical, but their bigs can really play at both ends. Houston played a really good game vs Syracuse and I have to think that the games they played against us and our zone the last couple of years really helped prepare them for that game.
One of the few bright spots of the last several years has been making Memphis our b!tch in basketball, and UCF in football.
Houston already has 6 offensive rebounds. Oregon State 0. Nice to know even teams from the so called power conferences get man handled by them on the glass
I heard a great halftime comment that Haith needs to remember. Great rebounders “ read how the ball comes off the rim when their team shoots and get to that spot first. This is taught by Kelvin”. I’ve thought this was the cause for a poor shooting team in Houston to have a shot at the Final Four.
Houston basically makes every defensive possession, every rebound and every loose ball into a WWE match. I'm surprised they didn't try to do a stone cold stunner on Rachal when he figured out how to slither around them to get boards this season.
Know a 79 year old that shoots free throws with one hand (his weak hand). Never misses. Ever. Just to show the young punks how easy they are.
....and we went 2-8 over our last ten games including a first round exit in the post season tourney. We collapsed. (I don’t count the exhibition game). Unfortunately, this will be the legacy of the 2020-2021 TU basketball team
An indictment of our coach that we have the talent to beat a final four team and sweep the NIT champs, but get swept by Tulane and UCF in the last month of the season
Baylor and Houston will be a blood bath. Baylor's guards are much better shooters but Houston's half court defense and offensive rebounds are much better. Mitchell is one of my favorite guards this year.
Wow, I haven’t seen an official collapse on the court before. I hope he’s ok.
Well USC has gotten hot from deep and cut the Gonzaga lead to 13. What I find interesting so far is that Gonzaga got out to a 21 point lead and they’re only 1 of 6 from three and missed 4 or 5 layups. It could have been much worse.
Gonzaga's team this year is a top 5-10 team of all time.
I don't see how they can get beat.
Yep. Said it.
I don't see how they can get beat.
Yep. Said it.
I agree with the talking heads the other day. The only way to beat Gonzaga is with help from Gonzaga
Only ONE team has lost to them by less than 10 points. That is pure insanity.
A few years back, an Umpire had a heart attack and died on the field in Cincinnati on opening day.
Well Houston beat Baylor by 6 points in the second half. Unfortunately Baylor beat Houston by 25 in the first half. If Houston could have made a shot that first half it would have been an entertaining game. At half they said only two players scored for Houston in the first half.
