I'm a team color purist... but these 'Oilers' uniforms are nice tbh

the only problem is they're road uniforms with 'Houston' instead of 'Cougars'

Houston has rolled out their "second level" defense. Wow, suffocating.

Mountaineers showing some grit. Tugler hitting the offensive rebounds

This team might be pretty good.

Best defensive effort of the year. That was some high-level defense. Suffocating. WV was like, What is happening? Not fair!

KU put a whipping on Iowa State. That is surprising.

Yep, same ole Kelvin Sampson. Runs his team to be better each month. Keep that injury bug off our backs and if he can pull off another Big XII title defense somehow he should be allowed to go straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame. I am trying to be patient and enjoy the growth of the team but it is hard know what they can achive.

The defense against WV was "next level." Is that the "new" norm or just a "good night?"

I would say new norm as long as refs don't get carried away and biased against us with their whistles. It is nor easy to play 5 on 8.

I have been watching the teams ranked above UH play. Honestly, I think UH could beat them all. If they keep improving every game at the rate they are now, they might not lose again. I know that is unlikely, but possible. Their defense is stifling. When all their shooters are "on" I don't think they can be beat.

Tell me which games "all their shooters are 'on'"...my bookie may want to know.

They can beat anyone by 20, they can also play a close game with anyone. One thing you can basically guarantee with a Sampson UH team is that they'll never be blown out.

The free throw disparity still pisses me off. At one point in the second half it was 16 attempts to 1 and was a big reason for AS cutting the lead in half. I’m not against them getting free throws. The defense is aggressive. But if you’re going to blow the whistle on one side, you have to call similar fouls on the other… Maybe Sampson needs to teach the players to jerk their heads back more often at the slightest touch when they drive to the basket.
