Look at Houston schedule and let me know which ones they are losing.
I'll start with WV Wed night. They also still play Tech twice, Baylor twice, @ASU, @'Zona, KU and ISU. They ain't running that table. I guess I missed the memo that Houston is now unbeatable somehow.

Hope you are right. Will be a comparable challenge to tonight. Hope the ball bounces our way next week.
After watching the game tonight, KU and AZ are not on the same playing field. The Phog is going to be more like a Phart for KU. Don’t foresee much trouble there

I can see KSU being a weird game Saturday.

They're not good but they've knocked off good teams and who knows what Tang has going on.

With this team on almost a week of rest, and everything that went on with Tang last year, I don’t believe this game is close at all. Probably tight for 6 ish minutes. Clones by 25-30

I think it's a UCF game. The extra time between games this week will be a big plus for the Clones

Maybe we go up 15-20 pts 2nd half on KSU and work in Indrusaitis in the lineup? Some people here said Watson was going to hurt the lineup by getting any minutes. That clearly has not been the case. Indrusaitis has good size and good slashing ability to help this team.

I don’t have a problem with not fouling there. You let them take a 3/4 court shot and don’t risk fouling in the act and turning it into 3 fee throws.

The only way you do it is immediately on the catch. Which we maybe could have done but we were not playing that tight.

I kind of wonder if you’re better off putting our guys in the line and missing that last free throw on purpose. Seems like way harder to get a shot up.

Also wondering if TJ should have called a time out.

Arizona knows what they’re running there and I don’t know if the timeout benefits them more than it does our defense.

Fuuuuuuuucccccckkkkk.

Okay, now that’s out of the way. Such an unfortunate ending but **** happens. Team will learn and get better. No need to dwell on it. The team won’t. Focus on what’s in front the remainder of the season. Still so much to play for.

What good teams have they beaten? West Virginia was playing good up until they lost to ASU at home.

I guess I was thinking they beat someone else but I'm considering WV a good/tourney team.
