I will be very surprised if we get beat badly today. I think we’ll hang in for most of the game but never really threaten, like 5-10 point lead by Houston that might get up to 15 or so when we finally wear down.

TJ likes his 8 man rotation so I suspect Nojus to get his shot.

I’m trying not to think bad thoughts, but can’t help but thinking this will be an epic beatdown where 75% of the country doesn’t know we are without our best 2 (arguably) players.


Let em play, how bad can it be?

While I generally agree with you, we did see this team get blown out by a horrible Kansas team, so anything is possible. Even if they get killed, I am taking 0 stock in this game. Just going to watch and hope for the best with the anticipation of a blowout.

My biggest concern is point guard. Both Keshon and Jones play that role for us along with Lipsey and now all we have is just Lipsey. I expect Houston to pressure all inbound plays. Hopefully Jefferson and Heise can help bringing the ball down the court. Those are probably our next best two ball handlers.
