Houston has no Quad 1 wins. How are they ranked as high as they are? Just curious.

When the fees are more than the cost of the ticket, maybe it’s a sign that you should just open the doors to the public and try to make money off the concessions.

Nah-- they would still have to offer free pizza ..

Winter storm forces Houston basketball to postpone men's game, alter women's schedule

HOUSTON (AP) — No. 7 Houston's game against Utah scheduled for Tuesday night has been pushed back to Wednesday because of severe weather forecast for the Houston area.

Whenever a hok fan comments that this will be Frans last year, just ask them where will Beth get the money.

Probably take out a loan to pay the construction company that they didn’t pay the first time. But then use that money to NOT pay for Frans buyout.

I bet ASU and took the points. It is such a let down game.

WVU's team is missing 2 key scorers--jayden stone and tucker devries. So, Jevon Small has to be superman for WVU to beat team's like Pitt, Arz. State, Lousiville, and Houston. the guy has a great motor but he leads the big 12 in minutes and he's a pg who cant take rests. he's beat up and worn down after a brutal game v ISU. The WVU pundits said this result was entirely predictable, if not inevitiible.

Nobody has the nitty gritty of how NET is calculated, but your record against Quadrants cannot be an input. You have to rank teams and then an output from that is what is a teams record against the Quadrants.

Houston's record looks like an outlier but all these formulas (NET, Kenpom, barttorvik) wind up with Houston in the top 3.

Edit: Unless you're referring to their AP ranking

A LOT of AP voters are dumb and don't watch games, they only look at this

Well, not that I expected it but it doesn't appear Utah will be giving us any help with Houston tonight... 23-5 Houston, 9 minutes in.

Kansas not off to a good start.

 

[CychiatricWard]

I can’t watch TCU home games. Court is atrocious. Just like when Oregon is on, just horrible court designs.

Storr seems like a bad investment
