Game Thread [2023-24] Houston (NCAA S16)

[Slap the Floor]

I can't believe this team is one win away from the Final Four. What a turnaround.

 

[ZackM]

Kenpom knew we were good.

 

[bdotling]

He wasn’t great last two times. First game was the Sean Stewart break out

Maybe Mitchell will be better against a familiar opponent.

 

[LastHearth]

So the B12 was maybe a tad overrated?

 

[LastHearth]

Do we want UT to beat Purdue to get that potential revenge game?

 

[DurhamSon]

After our injuries in 2023, 2019, 2017, 2016, 2013, 2011 I don’t give a shit about Shead

He was good in the second though. 18 and 8 on 8-13

It’s about fucking time we caught a break there. Not like these Houston goons with broken jumpers were winning it all anyway

 

[torontoduke]

Man, I'm such a bag for calling this team soft

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

STREAK SNAPPED

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

let's fucking go

 

[torontoduke]

Very happy they proved me wrong, no matter what happens next

 

[torontoduke]

Pretty confident about this lot

 

[DurhamSon]

We just won a quasi road game against a 1 seed with gutsy lock down defense, despite a C- offensive showing. This must be what early stage K was like in the tourney

 

[ddshog]

This team has grown some balls

 

[LastHearth]

Thinking of driving to dallas for the sunday game, a lot of houston fans are probably dumping tickets right now

 

[Devilsforlife]

The defense was nasty. We might have the #1 D with Flagg and Malauch next year

 

[CK86]

Man, I'm such a bag for calling this team soft

They have been soft. They've shown real growth since the ACC tournament loss. They've been every bit as physical or more than the opponents. It's been a welcome improvement.

 

[ddshog]

The defense tonight was just superb

 

[LastHearth]

And last year's game against Tennessee was part of the process, no way we win this game without having gone through that last year
