Difference thus far is that almost every shot is contested.

Exactly.

Houston’s defense > Iowa state defense. Lol. Especially without Gilbert or Lipsey.

Everyone is sitting here blaming BYU and and “of course they miss” ITS HOUSTON! Lol

 

[PizzaTheHutt]

The difference between our defense pressure and Houston’s? Length.

Speed of their Bigs and ability to switch. It’s why we were overall better last year defensively. Our Bigs were more mobile.

I missed it- Why isn’t Roberts playing today?

He got hurt yesterday

 

[bosco]

Me watching BYU playing like ****.

 

[Clonefan32]

Houston is guarding the ball really really well. BYU can’t find the paint and without that they have nothing

 

[dafarmer]

Why are the refs not bailing out BYU?

Give them time, hand checking won’t be called! I hate falling down on every shot to get a foul!

 

[Marcelason78]

Saunders could have three fouls by now. One chicken wing and two defensive holds.

Pulled into a Hooters after work to see how Houston is able to defend BYU's 3 ball. Well, you nailed it, length and mobility.

 

[bosco]

Did anyone see that BYU got called for moving on an a inbound play which was the exact same thing they got away with against us?

 

[TBT]

Honestly cannot hate Houston, gladly cheering for them to win it all if it comes to that. Feel like Otz aspires to coach a team like that.

They are missing good looks. Law averages. Even their douche looking coach says it isn't Houston's defense.

All the “wow! omg!! BYU is going to go on a massive run!!!!” people are going to be pretty quiet tonight.

 

[Cyched]

BYU currently a 6 on Bracket Matrix. Worthy of picking the 11 seed upset?

Probably. They haven’t won a tourney game since 2011.

Mercy Miller is the spitting image of his dad.

Looks like the cockiness has left the building.

It's too bad we can't wait until the games unfold. I'm sure someone's tallied this, but it feels like every year there's at least one 6-11 upset. If the other 6s have won, and they're up, look out.

 

[Walden4Prez]

I for 1 am more than ok we aren’t playing in this one. The boys need to rest up. One a side note, Houston is really ******* good.

It is easy to look good when your opponent is missing two starters.
