Texas A&M @ Houston (ESPN2, 7pm ET)

[Plebe]

Not sure why ESPN decided to show this game ... other than the fact it's UH's first game in the newly inaugurated Fertitta Center?

Looks like Chennedy Carter is back in:

Too bad they chose this over #18 Marquette at #6 Mississippi State..

 

[Bama fan]

Too bad they chose this over #18 Marquette at #6 Mississippi State..

That one should be on ESPN3. and /or SEC network

 

[Plebe]

Not the prettiest start for either team. It took Houston almost 6 minutes to score, but somehow they're only down 12-10.

Houston has a ton of quickness and looks to force a bunch of turnover and shoot a lot of 3s.

But they just showed Miss State vs. Texas four days ago.
And they'll be showing Miss State vs. Oregon in 12 days.

 

[Centerstream]

Pretty empty, brand new arena.
14-10 A&M, end of 1st.

 

[Plebe]

Van Chancellor and Sheryl Swoops are courtside. Chennedy Carter is starting to assert herself...

Have they mentioned anything about the Bush 41 Decal on the TAMU Jerseys ? I thought that was a nice touch for TAMU athletics. All teams (Fall and Spring) will wear a patch for the rest of the season

They could have shown UNLV-Duke

Other games tonight:
Kentucky struggling with URI (28-22 late in Q2).
Aub leads St Joes 42-30 at half
Vandy over Ball St 26-21 late in Q2
Duke up 24-17 on UNLV late in Q2

They could have shown UNLV-Duke

Um, BDs are struggling to shake 1-5 Runnin Rebs. Might be better you're not watching.

They could have shown UNLV-Duke

On the ACC Network.

On the ACC Network.

Yep... watching. First time actually seeing them play a full regular season game. Other games have either been on the Big 10 network..... on ESPN+ (froze up technical difficulities), paid suscription (holiday tourney), or during a NFL Panther game.

A&M is not going to score much this year outside of Carter

Her selfish game has been a big issue with the team chemistry

 

[Plebe]

I watched part of the UH men's team's first game in the Fertitta Center last Sunday, in which they upset Oregon. That game officially drew over 7,000 people.

The women's debut in the new arena, meanwhile, may not have 10% of that (hard to tell for sure). Such is life for most women's teams.

Not a very exciting game. OSU plays Texas A&M next week in Maui.

you guys confuse me.... I was thinking Ohio State for a second We gotta come up with a nickname

Or Oklahoma State.

Kinda weird that three states start with "o".

Well you got MSU, MSU, and MSU as well

 

[JellyBean]

Houston having a hard time making a basket in the 3rd quarter.

 

[LoTrader]

I'll write OSU Beavers from now on.

Houston having a hard time making a basket in the 3rd quarter.

A disastrous quarter for the Cougs. They've had long scoring droughts in each quarter so far.

 

[Plebe]

I'll write OSU Beavers from now on.

How about we just call them Beaver State?

 

[Plebe]

Well you got MSU, MSU, and MSU as well

Michigan, Mississippi, and ... Montana State? Missouri State?
