Keshon and Curt out @ Houston

More accurate thing to say would've been Big 12 titles hopes-- but also extremely unlikely even with a win today.
Or seeding for the NCAA Tournament-- also not likely to take too big of a hit today.
Our only real advantage now against Houston is our size inside. Game needs to be played inside-out instead of our usual outside-in approach. May be run the weave offense that TJ ran his first year when he didn’t have enough ball handlers.
Heal up Keshon and get well Curtis. Looking forward to your return. GO CLONES!!
long season. all about March. get our guys rested up. better to be healthy and a 3 seed than beat up and a 1-2
Conversely, Houston might choose to press at least a little more often, it'd be a viable approach with two ball-handlers missing. I'm not saying UH will do that, but it seems like a situation to alter strategy.

Did we make this public well before the game so the committee is ultra-aware?
1 ball handler. Curt rarely is involved bringing the ball up. I have as much faith in Heise’s ability to handle the ball/make good decisions in those situations as I do with Curt. Now if Nojus is in, and involved in the press break, I feel like that’s when major issues may occur.
Thought the key to beating Houston is with our outside game. Like us, their Achilles is by the 3 pointer. Cryer is a smaller guard also. He was a terrible defender at Baylor but now is adequate. Jones and Gilbert could have worked him over.
Houston has good defensive bigs and Roberts has good hands to get steals or knock it off of President Jackson's leg.
Sadly, recipe for an offensive mush output.

People forgetting what we'll miss most from KG is his defense.

I'm just hoping this is the whole story and nothing else is going on. Get well soon boys.

Pete Thamel opened game day by reporting Kelderman is expected to play today. I mean…I like Kade, but come on.
Great! He just played last game for about a minute so he should be fine. TJ doesn’t play guys just to play guys. If Nojus isn’t playing it’s because TJ feels like he’s not ready. Hopefully he steps up today though and shows something
I literally LOL’d when Gameday (Thamel, I think), mentioned Kelderman as one to look to get minutes! If that happens, we are waving the white flag early, or getting destroyed! Kelderman, the walk on??!!
Why???
That's a lazy, emotional rationale...As many have said on here before...get healthy, be playing your best basketball as tourney time comes rolling around...let the chips fall where they may. Our chances will be as good as most everyone's chances.
