Watching ESPNU over their app is fun. They can't keep the scoring straight and at the break got to watch the commentator style and spray her hair.

D Wright needs to graduate already..... he's a game winning KILLER. Just a bad basketball player and needs to stop playing the game.

Wow. I guess this board has given up on this team. 3 minutes to go till half and one comment. Sad
Decent crowd and student section ( must have given them all a 10 point bump on their next test.
Tulane is not very good but they don have some size inside. Exciting to watch a team shoot 28% from the field and it not be us.

Tulane was decimated by those three transfers. Bad luck for a good guy Conroy. Amie probably had something to do with it.

Nice to see us attack the rim again after missing 50 threes at Houston.

I am at the game. Wright is playing hard. Has several boards and a couple of buckets. If he can do that more times than not, it is the most we can hope for.

Curtis must be banged up.

Observations: Swannegan started in place of Dre, Curtis hasn't touched the floor. Taplin playing well. Shaq hasn't scored but he's doing a lot of other things. Ray is really disruptive on the defensive side. We really should be up 12-15. Not sure why we stick with this zone. Going to kill us against teams who are decent.

Agree that Wright is playing with passion...he's just a little snakebit.

Surprised with the decent crowd.

Tough to watch this team...especially when Woodard can't shoot.

Let's hope for a hot streak in Orlando in March. February will be uber-painful.

Zone does not look good.

Woodard needs to shoot himself out of this funk.

Pitiful display of shooting on both sides.

? Not that it matters but where is big e and brown
Brown is on the bench in warm-ups like TK and Etou. I haven't seen Big E in a couple of weeks.

Dre is playing hard and is playing smarter. Now he just needs the layups to fall when he makes a good play.

Why do we have such a good crowd?Great weather and OU playing? I'll take it though. Maybe lots of parents and grandparents of halftime show.

Guess finally has a coach that is tired of his nonsense and let him know that Swanny can take his minutes easily.

Wright jacking up threes is absolutely a problem. 0-9 on the season. Literally the only comment about him.

Do athletes get senioritis about playing their sport? I thought they'd leave it all out there but it's starting to look like how I felt my 8th semester of college.

Big E wasn't in Houston. I asked someone in athletics if he was sick and he said he thought so.

But this seems weird. Has he been seen this semester?

We play 3 point guards and start forcing turn overs. Nice change of pace.
Ray is really causing havoc.

Is brown hurt. He already burned red shirt I think and might as well give him a couple minutes here and there to see if he needs to be overrecruited

Taplin looks decent.

Wright taking 3 point shots is just stupid.

Wright is fine, he can make that three... he was actually a decent 3 shooter in the past. Those needless offensive fouls are his biggest problem... and the fact that he's forgotten how to finish.

Brown was a waste of a scholarship. We could have used another big. I would say Brown could get a medical redshirt if he was injured but we don't need any more players in next year's class.

Haith's system has been terrible for our frontcourt.

He has just chosen not to make a single one all year?? Come on. Our offense isn't running right if Wright is patrolling the three.

And Brandon is not an issue. I amend that statement. But you never look at him and question whether he's giving his all.

That out of bounds play was designed for him to be open in the corner. I think we're trying to get Wright going. We won't beat Cincy or SMU without him contributing legitimately

The crowd was very surprising!
I think everyone thought we would win and wanted to be there for it.

I'm not sure Brown's RS has been burned. I don't know when his last appearance was or how many minutes a he played it it seems he last played sometime around the Islands tournament.

Today's game was an ugly win...
With that said, an ugly victory is better than a good loss...
About 40 turnovers between the 2 teams...
The only thing uglier than the play on the court were the 3 bozos that some how thought that they were referees...
This was a win this team needed!!!
