Houston Thread
- Thread starter I.I.
- Start date
We can and must do better. Inexcusable to let it continue.
You usually miss shots when you pass on the open ones to only put one up with an opponent draped over you.
People keep talking about Pritchard.. and i am wondering how Kevin Pritchard can still have eligibility..I thought Pritchard walked on, maybe I am just trying to write a better underdog story
This is where Frank earns his millions 21 seconds left down 2 brilliant plays will be called by Haith watch and see
We need Horne or Griffin to put up a three, win or go home. Don’t try to feed it inside.
I'll take Pritchard driving to the basket in that situation... kid was shocked he was that open
This was an exciting game because Houston isn't as good without those tree starters. Tulsa players never gave up and played hard which is why I keep watching
It’s not win or lose that counts it’s how close you come to winning and we lead the nation in close losses thanks Frank $$$ earn that money nice $10 a ticket crowd to see that now lower the price to a can of food like we did during football games in the past when warranted.
I think this year will be 8-20 9-19 or 10-18 and people are laughing at this honest summation.
I have a feeling it will end up being the same result this season.
You should be excited. What I was referring to ending up the same, was Haith resigning/getting canned.
And I would never wish a good player to leave. (Pritchard) I just want a nice, new, shiny coach for his belated christmas 🎄 present 🎁.

You and I may be the only ones who still think about Kevin Pritchard !
Unlikely that haith is canned during the season. More unlikely he resigns. These close losses are just so frustrating.
If we could close out we would be 13-2 right now.

What ever else happened in this game, Griffin's rampage at the end was one of the best end-of-game
performances I have ever seen from a TU player.......
We played about as well as we can.....However, when you look at it realistically, we were out muscled,
out hustled, out drilled, and out schemed.....The game should not have been that close.....Houston
plays all out attack mode, and with their athletes, their speed, and their scheme of the all out
attack on the offensive glass, they are a hard team to beat.....Their record reinforces that .......
We have some talented, but smaller players......They used to say that basketball was a non-contact
sport....I notice they don't say that anymore.....Why? Because it is.....A couple of really competitive
"bigs" would show our team in a totally different light.....We don't have them, and under Haith's
recruiting staff, we never will.....
Solution???..............I think you know the answer!!

Seniorgolfer: You and I would have thrown a full court zone press or a run and jump on Houston tonight since they had only one scholarship guard left on the roster after Shed went down at the start. But we had that soft half court press without one steal off it. That one guard went off for about 30 points.
I would say that’s a conservative estimate. Sampson would have this team playing defense.
Your correct… That’s a real shizzy thing to do to Pritchard, a freshman that’s starting to develop a confidence that he can play against this level of competition. In true Frank fashion, I’m sure there will be retribution for the miss. Ran out of time or I’m sure he would have sat him.
Tough but doable. I doubt 12. My guess is 10, give or take one. I hope 🙏 for just enough wins to cost him his job.
Good point.....Houston, for the short run is sort of fumble fingered.....They seem to have more
injuries than anyone in our conference.....Possibly because they play at such a fast pace.....Sampson
recruits hard, practices hard, and lays it all out there during games.....
We still do not have enough movement on offense to get consistently good shots.....We have (for us,
anyway) two really good shooters in Griffin and Horne, and Draine, who is beginning to look more the
player we thought him to be.....Haywood and Dalger have somehow disappeared again, and have
really "deadline" stats.......The "plus and minus" stats tell us how important a good PG is to our
program.....Pritchard is a real keeper!
Call it poor game situational coaching or what, but we seem to flatten out near game's end on offense.
Griffin made three long threes near the end, but it was not enough.......
We simply don't have enough muscle to keep the opponents off of our offensive boards.....We also
have not had the 'muscle' on the recruiting trail to get some "bigs" that can actually play.....
We played hard, and never gave up.....For the moment, that is all we can ask......
