I like Curtis, fun player. But shouldn't be a starter on a tournament team and should not be green lighted for threes...

We should coast. Let's hope we do.

 

[TU 1978]

I see 3 players ready to come in.

 

[JesseTU]

I see a ton of upside to TK.

Ray is as quick a player as I've ever seen.

7pm start time on a Friday night in Connecticut... Fewer fans than a typical ORU game.

Have to keep posting or I'm drinking alone.

 

[TU_BLA]

All the tourney games have looked like that so far except UCoNN's game last night. So far rebounding and shooting are good. And Patrick just said we are a prolific 3pt shooting ball club! Wait, what?

Dre and Shaq with the 3 balls early and TK just hit a FT. Good signs early

TK LOOKS GREAT AT THE LINE !

[panicstricken]

Pretty damn good start.

 

[I.I.]

More obsession in giving Rays minutes to Curtis ???? confusing to me.

[JesseTU]

Why do we not call time out when we get a loose ball with the threat of a tie up (or boxed in the corner)? Particularly in the first half with the use it or lose it still in the bank...

Hope Swannigan is OK.

 

[TU_BLA]

Swannegan should be OK. Replay looked like he caught himself and got the weight off of it before it was too bad.

We look out of rhythm for some reason,like we are settling for a bunch of stuff. What are we doing? D and rebounding is fine but out guys simply cannot elevate for layups. It's horrible to watch

Woodard one shot in the entire half? Rarely touches the ball. don't disappear Juice !

I wasn't advocating anyone over Curtis. Merely commenting that he is an interesting player and lots of fun, but has too many turnovers and isn't a great scorer. An example of a starter that should be upgraded in recruiting in the long run (not dropped and recruited over mind you) if we want to be a consistent tournament team.

How many blocks does Houston have?

 

[JesseTU]

Again, we are trapped and turn it over instead of calling our FREE timeout.

 

[panicstricken]

what a meltdown

 

[TU_BLA]

Houston would have fewer blocks if our guys actually elevated instead of jumping into their bodies. The fouls aren't being called on those contacts.

Shaq...please stop passing it to the guys wearing red. At least 4 TOs from Shaq alone

Sloppy, careless half.
Posted from Rivals Mobile

 

[TU_BLA]

Please don't let them hang around. They really don't play any defense and they've shot the ball poorly. They're going to keep jacking them up so I'd hate for them to get hot and be in the game.

Absolutely an awful disaster of an offensive half and we still have the lead. Should be up by 15. We are a superior team in every way but it won't matter if we don't execute.

 

[T Up]

Harrison has been reading his press clippings too much the past 5 games. He has reverted to sloppy play and turnovers. We have no rhythm. Juice shoots 3-4 times in the half?!?! He is the guy who needs to be shooting. Sets some damn screens for him. We are making it too easy for teams to defend us.

 

[I.I.]

Great point Tup. Analyst said TU doesn't have killer attitude and plays soft with a lead. I agree.

['Cane-man]

The team has to step it up. They look lethargic. Out of gas. Hope Haith can get them pumped up.

 

[drboobay]

If I were in the locker room I would be asking the guys if they are ready to pack up and go home. Cuz if they keep playing this way that will be the outcome. Need to see that toughness and grit. We have had 4 days off to rest so fatigue is not an excuse.

Houston shooting poorly from outside and still within 4. Looks bad at this point but give Houston the credit. They are hot hot hot the last 4 games and feel it.

[TU_BLA]

8 TOs that half, 4 by Shaq, 3 of which were completely unforced. Must be better. Everything else points to the fact we should be up 12 right now. Reb edge of 7, shooting 45% to 38%, FTs are good so far. TOs keeping HOU in it. Must be better

[TUMe]

Watching the game I understand, but if you look at the box score it's hard to understand why we are not up by at least 10.

 

[TU_BLA]

How are those 2 plays not fouls? One against Juice one against Shaq???
Posted from Rivals Mobile

 

[T Up]

Tuts twice Houston has knocked a guy down to get the ball with no foul call. We need to be much more physical.

 

[panicstricken]

Pathetic effort so far this half

How is UH outscoring us in the paint

 

[I.I.]

Playing soft. Will lose it seems unless someone takes control.
Posted from Rivals Mobile

 

[T Up]

20-6 run for Houston. 11 fast break points to our 0. The plan is simple. Clog the lane, have one decent post defender and guard juice all over the floor. We need to change things up. Now!

 

[I.I.]

Harrison needs to start taking it to the hole like he did to Houston last time. Stop shooting outside except Woodard or Ray.

[JesseTU]

Well... If we keep playing this way and lose at least I won't need to ***** about being passed over for the NCAA.

Come the hell on guys... A little ENERGY! Put Swannigan in, he always has energy.

 

[panicstricken]

Unfp-------real.

I cant believe how bad we can play

 

[TUMe]

Keep Ray in.

 

[JesseTU]

Two questions:

1) has there been a non driving foul called in the paint? I don't think there has. Other than charge and block.

2) If that takedown on Swannigan isn't a flagrant, what the hell is?

Let's frikken go!

 

[TU_BLA]

Any bets they come back with a flagrant on Swannegan and HOU has 2 FTs and the ball?
Posted from Rivals Mobile

 

[I.I.]

Harrison and Woodard to the hole and shoot free throws.
Posted from Rivals Mobile

 

[T Up]

Change things up. Press. Our guards are better than theirs. We must exert our wll on this game. We can't beat them inside.

 

[I.I.]

Yes yes drive the rim.

[TU 1978]

Get that ugly a$$ Loonardi off the screen so we can see the game.

 

[panicstricken]

Please never put Joe Lunardi on in the middle of our game again

I hate ESPN
