Week of 1/29 Other games

[Tyler2Rings]

Texas in a tight one with #4 UH. I've been pleasantly surprised by this team after they seemed to be fading a few weeks ago

 

[auror]

Yeah Houston was up double figures, but power of the home crowd willed Texas back into it with energy on D. Just took a 6 point lead.

When we need to replace Gampel, I hope we take a lot of lessons from their new Moody Center.

Ugh, Houston just hit back to back to back 3's, starting with a possession where Texas couldn't get a rebound to close the possession, to immediately go back up 3. That's like a 50% win probability swing in 2 minutes.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Texas choking at the line.

 

[aceboon]

These rims at Texas are loud as hell

 

[auror]

Dang that Mitchell move was good

A couple dunks have sounded awesome though.

I noticed Houston is popularizing the offensive rebound by tapping the ball back towards their own basket, especially when they are out of position to grab it with both hands. Europeans do this a lot. It has risk, but implemented correctly, with your guards ready to collect the ball on the perimeter, they will get open second looks from the 3 pt line. I think it will be something that more and more coaches will use.

 

[aceboon]

Inadvertent contact but I'm surprised the refs didn't review it since they usually go to the monitors when a player coughs funny

There was a Sharp 3 a few minutes ago that sounded like a gunshot

 

[auror]

Huge And-1 FT miss oreb for Houston, turns into a 4-point play when they were down 4. Tie game 2 minutes left.

 

[housekeys]

Texas doing all it can to lose this game.

 

[aceboon]

Terrible turnover by Hunter, Texas could have held for the last shot

 

[auror]

Texas with 2 bad decisions in a row (and refs didn't call them for obvious foul on a rebound) gave Houston a shot to win it. Shead takes a really poor off the dribble contested 3. Possibly too early (but also they're a great offensive rebounding team so not super wrong to give your guys a chance to go get a tip).

 

[superjohn]

Some ugly basketball at the end of this Texas Houston game.

 

[husky8273]

OT

 

[Bazz2014]

This really feels like that 1 foul shot from Houston might be it. Neither team can score in OT.

 

[Revrat]

both teams are gassed. no subs? also both teams flopping like fish but refs arent buying it.

 

[caw]

Is this bad offense or good defense. It seems like both.

 

[BGesus4]

Texas is brutal to watch. They need a better coach.

They've got some dumb players, too.

That was atrocious recovery by Texas in that D scramble. Somebody was guarding nobody. I think Abmas.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Oh my goodness, wild scramble with Houston up 4 and it's called a shooting foul from behind the line -- if that had somehow gone in, Texas would have had a chance to tie. As it is, they'll need to make the first 2, miss the 3rd, and hope for a rebound or a loose ball foul.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Had a chance, but Houston gets the rebound, fouled with less than a second, and that will do it.

Thanks for nothing, Texas.

 

[housekeys]

Let's not forget, Texas barely beat Louisville 81-80, so they can be Jekyll and Hyde.

 

[Jimdish255]

Houston is tough. Texas gave away that game late in regulation, literally.
