Statement win that will pay dividends on Selection Sunday. Also, Hason has been rock solid since returning from injury. His return makes the front court very formidable.

Again I think perhaps Houston has a little something to do with that. Now let’s see what happens as we didn’t shoot it well at OU, will concede that. But tonight it is what it is as we only had a handful of open looks from out there. Need to make them yes but will not judge any team offensively against that defense.
The crazy thing is I still don't feel like we've adjusted to the speed of the Big12 yet, at least offensively. There's still a ton of room to grow even after beating the #2 team
That’s the beautiful part about this win. We weren’t hot from the field, or getting lucky.
Just stood in the center of the ring and traded blows against a very tough team until they went down.
Tamin Lipsey drew 8 of Houston's 19 fouls tonight and that isn't counting the ones the refs missed! I know FTs are an obvious stat but I think this is huge.
Kelvin has a clone as an assistant coach. The guy looks just like Kelvin did 20 years ago
This win might even get a bigger headline than a Hawkeye headline in the Register. I won't hold my breath though.
Sharp was impressive, they weren't even in the game without him tonight.
Yes.
Kellen Sampson
And for what it’s worth ,
Dirty or whatever it’s been, Kelvin is a very good basketball coach.
Did Caitlyn Clark sneeze? If so then nope we won’t get much.
Filled up a bit once the game started. It was absolutely dead in there 5 minutes before tip. Crowd was loud for being so small once the game got going. The great start really helped
We had 11 fouls (our players); they got called for 19.
I'll have to watch the game (radio only for me tonight) but it did sound like (John and Eric, they are usually pretty fair but do wear cyclone colored glasses) there may have been quite a few more uncalled fouls that Houston got away with.
Not surprising it was a late-arriving crowd. A lot of people probably waited to make the call as to whether they were going until the last possible moment.
TJ said on post game that is specifically Milan’s spot on that side. I’d have guessed that but interesting to hear him be that definitive.
If there is a game this season with more effort, extended defense, dudes covering tons of ground doubling and getting back, I won’t believe it.
Gilbert and Tamin were BRINGING it. Rob and Ward were awesome doubling out on the perimeter.

Rob and Ward is a very serviceable 2-headed 5.
Future opponents may want to block Hasan out when he shoots FTs.
Who posted during or after OU that Tre shouldn't play?
Curtis Jones is so valuable off the bench. I'll bet he has 20 pts in a future win.
I like those sideline out of bounds alley opps!
Houston guards got some, but Tamin, Gilbert anf CJones made them work for everything.
Great coaching! Loved coming out in a zone for 10 seconds (even though UH scored on that possession). It will come in handy this season.
Watson and Pav provide valuable minutes. This wasn't the best opponent for Pav.
I'll enjoy Milan while he's here, hopefully 2 years. His game is just so mature. That game-winner is legend.

Ward had nice stats, but I don't think he was the most impactful player on the floor. I believe a lot of the reason he had 4 fouls, for instance, was because he was contesting and fouling guys at the rim, whereas Jones is much better at rotating to keep guys from getting to the rim in the first place.
