Big game at 5 vs Tennessee, UH better play better or they’ll get clobbered. In a year with a whole bunch of great looking freshmen, Vols’ Nate Ament is up there with the best, and Gillespie is a great senior PG. They’ve also got about 6 guys in their rotation 6’8" to 6’11", and size is an issue with the Coogs, depth-wise.
Some good quotes from Sampson about yesterday in here:
God, Houston gets some stupid fouls. They’re going to pick up enough legit fouls with the aggressive D they play, they can’t afford the stupid ones Tugler and Sharpe just picked up.
I hate to talk shit about him, because he’s awesome, but it’s pretty apparent that Sampson cannot draw up a proper halfcourt offense. He needs a new offensive coordinator, like all other Houston teams.
Well, this is just not last year’s Cougars. Still a very good team, and they may get there, but they’re just not now. Hopefully they mature and learn from these types of games.
After watching Gonzaga’s first two games in this Players Era tournament, I would have been tempted to proclaim them to be a candidate for an undefeated season. And now Michigan is ahead of them 38-19.
