If you’re a fan of offense, stay far away from the Houston-Iowa St, game tonight… should be a good one though. First team to 55 wins?

O/U is 131.5……I thought it would be 120

Houston is the team I'm concerned with the most. I think they could give us the best run. I'd like iowa state to expose some weaknesses and put up some points: They're the 2nd best team in the Big12 right now and cruising.

I am curious as to how Houston plays against a somewhat good team.

Kansas would like you to hold their beer

Houston/ISU, the two teams I prefer not to face.

Tune in tonight at 9pm when they play Iowa St.

ISU won the first matchup at their place. I think ISU can win in Houston's place as well.

Color me dense. Your point?

 

[Chuck]

It is amazing to me that Tiny Bennett hasn’t hired some assistants to help him run an offense. I’m also amazed that he won a national championship. Such a boring program. With 2:39 left, they have 35 points against their rival Virginia Tech.

 

[KingAG]

Houston/ISU, the two teams I prefer not to face.

Are we still afraid of teams?

The only team we shouldn’t want to show up is a bad UConn team .

Thats our biggest threat

Kansas is a “somewhat good team”. The game at Phog wasn’t particularly close.

 

[Drew]

Houston and Iowa State are both big, athletic, and long. Playing hard as hell on defense. This is going to be a fun game.

Might be first team to make it to 40 wins at this pace…

 

[caw]

I get they both play good defense and are athletic but so far I see a lot of bad shots.

Chill. Preferring not to face is not being afraid.

 

[KingAG]

I mean is sort of is. You prefer not to face them because you’re afraid they can beat us.

Nobody is beating a B+ UConn

 

[mauconnfan]

Virginia has 90…. In their last 2 games. Dreadful to watch on that end.

Houston scares me for just one reason. It seems their reputation to play suffocating defense allows them to actually suffocate at times. Stripes have a lot of respect for Sampson.

They're really not big though. Neither team has a big guy. They're both short teams, Houston is especially short.

^You beat me to it.

They play bigger than they actually are because of how physical they are(Houston)

 

[aceboon]

Am I misremembering or is the stuff Sampson got fired from Indiana for pretty much legal under the NCAA now? IU would have had something special under him.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Obviously I am rooting for Houston. They had Josh Carlton.

It was total garbage against Sampson. Might as well have given him a show cause for jay walking.

He is one of the best coaches of his generation.

 

[KingAG]

Houston just got away with 6 straight fouls on one defensive possession.

Nobodies beating them if they’re allowed to defend like that.

They’re gonna run into a tight whistle in march and get sent home

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Maybe I’m a glutton for punishment, but I’d love to see a UConn/Houston matchup. I think our size, ball movement, and shooting would really challenge their defense.

I think they’re one of those teams whose style of play will also lead to quite a few more whistles in the tourney.

And they are very athletic at the 4-5.

Here was my comment. “I am curious as to how Houston plays against a somewhat good team”. Read my comment again. I wasn’t referring to Kansas as the somewhat good team I was referring to Iowa State playing Houston tonight.
If you look at the Kansas-Houston game at the Phog, Kansas won by 10. The Kansas-Iowa State game was a Kansas win by 4.
My point was how will Houston do against Iowa State (a somewhat good team) tonight.

Houston is literally one of the smallest teams in the country. They're 335th of 362 in average height

 

[housekeys]

These great "defenses" are nothing more than goon ball. There should be at least 30 fouls called only 12 called. These teams will suffer disappointment in the tournament.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

The fact that Iowa state has more fouls than Houston right now is comical. They have hacked Iowa state guys with no foul on probably 5-6 possessions.
