it's no different that most non conference schedules

 

i really hope we get a game with Rick Pitino and St. Johns. They're supposed to have a huge year coming up and he revamped their roster big time already to be one of the top teams in the nation

 

Not sure about that...

 

Not surprising, but UH beaten soundly by Australian National Team, which has 10 NBA players.

That team is "stacked". They're the #3-ranked team in the FIBA rankings. I think they're playing a couple more Australian teams after that game, too, aren't they?

 

According to the article - "UH will close out the trip with games against the Frankston Blues from the NBL1 South on Saturday (4 a.m. CDT) and Sunday against the Australia Select Team (3 a.m. CDT) in Melbourne."

 

not exactly some tough non conference opponent.

 

Xavier and Aggy vs. UConn/Indy/Louisville (they'll play 2), Marquette and LSU

So it's twice as tougher.

 

no where near twice as tough. definitely not. LSU is absolute trash. both have a Big E matchup. A&M is significantly better than LSU. They will also likely meet St. Johns who will be one of the top teams in the country. easily a top 25 team.

 

My maths say twice as tougher.

 

cool. your math stinks

 

You may be used to that "New Math"

 

If anyone is up here is the stream for the game

 

(1) Jon Rothstein on Twitter: "Always take stats from foreign tours with a grain of salt, but this stands out: Through three games in Australia, Emanuel Sharp is Houston's second-leading scorer, averaging 15 PPG. LOVED what he showed last season as a freshman. An "under-the-radar" breakout guy to monitor." / X

 

We are going to have a sharpshooter off the bench this year, bad pun intended.

 

So far in his UH career Sharpe is Vernon Maxwell like streaky. He could go 0-10 then hit 15 straight.

I watched the game this morning and Tugler is a CKS type dude.

 

Hey @YOLO

Is Frankston Blues the name of a UH player or a UH opponent?

 

Opponent they are on a tour of Australia by NCAA rules you can do this once every 4yrs. They went to China and Italy in prior trips.
