Not going to call for the coach's head, but this team is underwhelming right now and in no way looks ready for Big 12 play. And I didn't even attend, watch or listen to today's game to know that (today wasn't going to magically fix critical issues).
Good they got a win, this is a game we traditionally lose as of late - so that much is positive.

We looked better in OT than we have for a while. Still didn't expect to be in OT (or even 2 of them) at all.
If we'd rebounded better, this maybe could have been a nice blowout victory.

we looked like a team that hasn't played in almost 2 weeks. Nice however to prove we can win one like this.
A win is a win and lets hope they can build on the last OT. It show how important Gil is to this team winning. He and CB needs learn how to take games over better.
That was ugly but a win is a win. You don't get extra brownie points for beating a team by 20 points.

Barely pulled it out. I think this keeps us in NCAA tournament consideration as Houston will definitely make the tourney and will be a good win on the resume.
The thing that bothers me about our team is that we almost never crash the boards for rebounds.
Good win, but man we need to improve fast for the Big 12.

We won a close game for once, great to see, however, we were outhustled, and out rebounded by the 332nd ranked rebounding team. How does that happen? If you think Houston plays great pressure defense and gets up and down the floor fast, wait until we play Duke in 3 days. It will be a miracle if we keep it under 20.
