This Houston/UT game just solidifies how good we were
- Thread starter wobycat
- Start date
Well that's all well and good but how does them getting curb stomped by Houston mean anything.
If anything, it looks bad lol.
Kind of like arguing about Tenn/Hou doesn’t change a single thing. This thread needs thrown in a barrel, doused in gasoline and lit aflame.
Just go with it. We were really, really good. If it was a two and out tournament, we would’ve won.
Yes and no. They beat the hell out of UCLA and then us. They then came back down to earth pretty quick. Happens.
If anything this is the numbers from the entire season just bearing itself out in front of us.
You had four clear cut teams ahead of the pack here.

Nothings wrong with our system. We just need improved talent. I like Sampson and think he’s a great coach. But i wouldn’t enjoy watching them much game after game.
Not giving the midget all the calls was my favorite part.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. To me, it solidifies how bad we were on defense compared to Houston and how bad we were on offense against UT in the last game.
It makes no sense. It actually shows how bad we were that we got ran out the gym by a Tennessee team that didn't look that great today
Probably. Duke has vastly superior players than Tennessee. Duke will get inside and score with Flagg and Knoeppel and their big center. Duke by 8.
That was my take away from this.
Like past two years what could have been if we just had a complete team that focused on being good on both sides of the ball.
Houston does foul a lot. They will be in foul trouble vs Duke.
But Houston been in foul trouble during the entire season and that hasn't seemed to affect them all that much.
I think that game will be close.
And if it's Auburn vs UF on the other side, I think same thing.

I said this weeks ago. Houston is one of THE BEST at managing the clock, and getting the most out of it.
I mean we could say playing at a slow pace makes them a bit susceptible to upsets given the low amount of possessions usually means their games will be closer...........
then again they just beat a good UT team by 19 lol.
But we can't say a team that shoots 40% from 3, only turns it over 14% of the time and rebounds 37% of their misses is a poor offensive team lol.
You are exactly right which is the reason I wanted UT to win. If they won, we would have done something that no other team had done which was beat 3 of the final 4 teams this season.
Wing spans over 7’……..
……seems pretty long to me when the goal is at 10’ means you don’t have to jump out of the gym to block or effect shots. Regardless, id take them here along with their commitment to help side and defensive rotations.Right? With the opposite outcome we could have at least appealed to transitive property of equality since we did two-for-three UT fwiw
Interesting take. We looked soft and unable to handle Tennessees physical defense Friday. That happened quite a few times this season. I’m not so sure we’d handle Houston any better than the Vols have.
Well, a lot of posters here don’t know a whole lot about hoops. There’s a huge faction of BBN that’s pretty akin to the Cards BFIBs.
They scored 1.21 points per possession in this game, so yes it was.
