Cougar Basketball

Why is that though? If it's been the same problem for 5 years, what's the fix?

 

There were about 25 guys spread out over 378 teams who averaged 20 ppg. Those teams include Coppin State, Wright State, Hofstra and a host of other smaller schools that didn’t make the tournament at all. Those teams that do have 1 of those guys have 1 and not 2 or 3. Consistent scoring is a problem for virtually everyone in college basketball. The exceptions to that historically have been subpar defensive teams. The key in college hoops is to be able to survive your worst game on the offensive end. UH was built to do that and win. What they weren’t built to do was outscore a team that scored 90 on them and just shot the lights out. Sometimes you get outplayed…you just get beat.

Great teams lose in the tourney every year. Cougar fans know that as well or better than anyone given Phi Slamma Jama. You hope to keep getting there so that eventually the kids who are 18-22 finally get hot through the tourney games. It’s way more of a crap shoot than the NBA playoffs.

 

Serious question. Do you think if it was an NBA style playoff format, that UH beats Miami the majority of the games?

 

Absolutely not. That kid ain’t gonna shoot 70% from three over a 7 game span. That’s why college hoops is so great to me. The tension of 1 and done is just fantastic. It’s also heartbreaking.

 

Well, it's done, and it hurts.

Who's returning, and who's joining the squad next year?

 

There was separate thread made a month or so ago with a poll asking who would win if rockets played the coogs. The coogs won with multiple people saying it would not even be close.

 

Well, that was a dumb poll.

 

It's going to happen. One of these years. You can't be as winning of a coach as Sampson is and not just eventually get lucky in March.

 

Eddie Sutton, Bob Huggins, Lou Carnasecca, Ray Meyer, Pete Carril, Lou Henson, Lefty Dreisell, Guy Lewis, John ****ing Chaney, Rick Majerus...

Calipari

 

Hopefully we can get some transfers. A center and a SG

 

Yep, I was heartbroken in 83' and again last night

 

The Bbq here is legit. Goddam. Definitely my #2 behind the hill country.

Tilman and Renu were with the crowd last night.

Such a bummer that the best UH crowd I've seen since the Peach Bowl got let down that badly.

 

I’m hoping Shead will have some quality PG backup help; Mark, Sharp, and Arceneaux will all improve… isn’t there some beast sitting with the team, waiting for next year? If only Jarace would return, and Elvin would grow a foot to become Reid Gettis 2.0…

 

I would take UH in a best of 7, and bet heavily on them.

 

Fun fact: Missouri legalized recreational mar1juana during the midterms lol

 

why you posting dumb shiii here on the Houston Cougars forum? Post that dumb shiii on the UT thread not here.

 

public service announcement for any other coog fans stuck in KC like me

 

Sorry brother I feel your pain. Post whatever you want lol

 

What's the Matter With Kansas?

Where'd you get the good-to-best bbq? Anything else, restaurants, bars, whatever?

I haven't been there in a while. The Negro League Museum is fantastic, as is the WWI

 

So the UH alumni meet up was at Guy Fieri's Taco dive (lmao). Flavor town is not a place I will be visiting again. Although the plaza with all the bars next to tmobile center is great and an ideal place for hosting an event like that. I hope the big 12 tournament stays there.

Best Bbq so far was at Q39.
