Houston at Tulsa game thread

[nevadanatural]

Let’s go guys!

 

[nevadanatural]

Decent start considering the cold shooting. Really good defense the last few possessions.

 

[t-townpod]

Houston really athletic.

 

[nevadanatural]

Houston plays hard and has good hands, we have to match that energy. Houston is not shooting well early thank goodness but neither are we.

 

[nevadanatural]

Defense keeping us in this. So far 4 steals and 8 points off turnovers for the good guys.

 

[t-townpod]

Except for Jeffries I’d take any of Houston’s top 10

Agree. Their top 10 is better than everyone on Tulsa except Jeffries. Jeffries would be a solid 6 man for Houston.

Tulsa kind of sucks. Haith gets the most out of his crapo recruiting.

 

[nevadanatural]

We’re missing twos and they’re hitting threes. That’s not a good combo.

 

[TU_BLA]

Game over

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Steve Forbes.

 

[t-townpod]

You have to make shots

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Tulsa may be the least talented team outside of Tulane

 

[I.I.]

Jackson wide open for three and everybody around me yelling don’t shoot. He does anyway and air ball. 0-11 now this year from three and 0-7 from free throw line.

 

[t-townpod]

We are not even in same sphere

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

We’ll need to tread water until Haith’s contract expires.

 

[I.I.]

Hinton is the kind of Freshman we need. Really good.

ECU?

 

[noble cane]

It's like watching a barn cat play with a mouse...

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

I’m watching horrible bb
This may be as bad as JP 3rd

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

ECU?

No
Ecu has better talent — if u consider their younger guys and pipeline

 

[t-townpod]

The ball is fine. Shooting is our problem

 

[nevadanatural]

They’re not shooting that great a percentage from deep, just under 30%, but they are shooting a high volume. They have shot 24 threes in that first half.

 

[TBunch1103]

When you get out rebounded to 30 to 12 in the first half you sure as hell don’t deserve to win a basketball game

 

[Henry Kendall]

Would it be an idea that maybe we get out of our crappy zone transition defense and defend a three point shooter for a little while?

 

[noble cane]

Down 16 at half?...

If we lose this by 20 plus, I dont think even Huffys "people that matter" are going to save Haiths job...

Doesn’t matter

Hinton is the kind of Freshman we need. Really good.

Hinton had offers from ten P6 programs. We don’t currently sniff guys like that coming out of high school.

 

[goldenhurricane2]

Houston is really good. They will make noise in the tourney this year. We just don’t have the guns to compete.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Rebounding is just laughable. 30-13. Wow.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Year 5 for Haith. It’s around the same year for Sampson at Houston.

Polarizing trajectories.

Clancy - Do something.

 

[nevadanatural]

both teams have made 9 shots inside the arc, the difference in the game is 5 more three pointers and an extra made free throw.

 

[Bill Lowery]

Hinton had offers from ten P6 programs. We don’t currently sniff guys like that coming out of high school.

We offered Hinton and Brooks, Gresham and Jardeau. 0-4.

 

[nevadanatural]

We’ve actually been getting out on the shooters pretty good, thus the low percentage, but when you shoot that many a bunch are going to fall. They’re on pace to shoot almost 50 threes for the game and if our interior defense continues to frustrate them then they might. What’s really hurt us is the number of easy twos we’ve missed.

 

[Babe the Blue Ox]

Too many 2nd & 3rd chances for Kitty.

 

[noble cane]

We offered Hinton and Brooks, Gresham and Jardeau. 0-4.

Kids know who can and who can't.

 

[nevadanatural]

They’re hitting them standing three feet outside the arc.

 

[Gold*]

Houston is really good. Also these refs are douchebags. Both can be possible and today they are a reality.

 

[nevadanatural]

Taplin’s shot looks horrible today. Even his free throws are flat.

 

[I.I.]

Recruiting, Recruiting, Recruiting.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

I’m ready for us to compete with the teams we used to compete with.

Ready for a change...not sure if there’s a downside.
