Best Defense of the Year

[Matrim55]

With 12:30 left we were down 49-41. Rest of the way we outscored them 28-8. Houston shot 3-for-16 with 5 turnovers in that span.

I don't know how to bottle this intensity and make sure it shows up at the next game, and the next, and the next. But I do know that if we played like this on a game-to-game basis we're probably 15-2 instead of 12-5.

It was especially pleasing to see DHam throwing himself to the floor to get loose balls. Winning a few of those 50/50s goes a long way.

EDIT: And I'm an idiot. Meant for this to be in the Men's Hoops subforum.

We've now beaten Houston in football and basketball. If the last Big 12 opening is between us and Houston, that certainly was good defense.

Au cotraire. Nice to see some good news here once every solstice.
