I like watching Houston. They play their butts off on defense, have a pretty free flowing offense and they just seem smart and make the right/easy play. And they play as a team.
Kelvin Sampson is a heck of a coach
Agree. Those guys buy into whatever he is selling them.
Yup, he saw what Wesson did to us when you don't double and his game plan resulted in one 2pt. FG attempt for Wesson. One.
That might still pay off for my Final Four but too many bad picks prior will do me in.
Although I really felt like the 1 and 2 seeds would all essentially cruise and at least they've been on the ropes.
Watching Kenny Wooten on Oregon makes me want another high flying athletic guy (like ejim was) so we can throw lobs too.
Oregon is looking good.
Oregon is looking good.
That's probably the best thing about this season ending is that I won't have to see another failed lob attempt by our guys.
They were pretty good at doing unnecessary things for 0 points.
K. Wesson also shot more FTs against Houston. In the end, Wesson only scored 6 more points against ISU than he did against Houston, and that differential could have been even less because he missed several FTs (including front ends of 1-1). C.J. Jackson, who scored two points against ISU, had 18 against Houston.
Overall, ISU and Houston ended with a very similar defensive efforts against OSU, even though the strategies were different:
- points given up: ISU 62, UH 59
- FG% allowed: ISU 39.7%, UH 38.8%
- TOs caused: ISU 11, UH 14
The issue on Friday night was ISU's offense, and giving up too many offensive rebounds.

Saw this.
Different level for me but having something end suddenly that's such a great experience is a very emotional experience.
You missed on ToE, right?
Had KSU in but found out after brackets locked that Wade was out.
Impressive. I think the best I've done is 11 of 16. It's possible I got more in the early years of bracket-guessing, when I didn't pay as much attention.
13 here. Didn't know about Wade. Picked Yale as my crazy-ass cinderella because of the coaching issues at LSU. And Iowa State...because I pick with my heart not my brain when it comes to MY teams.
Hadn't checked my bracket since Saturday. I got 11. Ties my personal record! I think.
I missed on: Mississippi State, Belmont, Villanova, Kansas and Iowa State.
