Message: [QUOTE="Travelman6, post: 2089408, member: 7597"] Ya, they were a bubble team. "As bubble teams go, Houston was sort of strange. It's hard to be on the bubble for as long as the Cougars were -- for most of the past month, with only rare interruption -- without making a move one way or the other. Houston won a fair number of games, ably handled the majority of the ugly American, failed to hang with either Cincinnati or SMU in any of its four opportunities, and just sort of quietly hovered along toward the bottom end of the at-large discussion, always a step or two removed. Credit the consistency, at least. Houston's studious aversion to bad losses -- and its extended wallflower pose along the bubble fringe -- ended Friday after a loss to Connecticut." Uconn knocked them off the bubble. They needed this win and a win at cincy so bad, Uconn said "Nope". This is a good win over a decent team. Nothing more, nothing less. Uconn could have folded, especially after what happened the last Houston game, what happened to end the season vs cincy and what happened against a USF team Uconn had recently beat by 50. Having to actually work for a win against a team like that (usf) COULD BE very demoralizing, so it was impressive to see how uconn came out against houston and did not fold when down 20-9. Considering everything that came before it, that was indeed a good win last night. [/QUOTE]
