Going through YouTube consuming as much as I can to pass the week. This video breaks down Houston and why they succeed without shooting well.
Interesting that WV is ranked ahead of them in the rebounding category he is calling the difference maker. Done before selection sunday too, so we've seen this movie before. It will take more than a dump and chase bulldog approach to offense for the Cougs to pull this out.Going through YouTube consuming as much as I can to pass the week.

I trust JB is hammering home the transition D all week. I remember commentators were like “oh they wont be able to get back in the zone vs Kansas” in 2003...and we did. It will be up to the players because I’m sure JB will stress itMarek is the perfect answer to that post double. Elite passer surrounded by dudes who can make a shot. This will be an interesting game if we can keep them out of transition.
As a little more data: this Houston team, per KenPom ratings is better than both our 2010 and 2012 teams... They have numbers well within the range of national championship caliber.

I prefer the tight turnarounds, because teams usually look even more terrible against the zone with only a couple days to prepare.With five days to prepare, I like our chances here. It's the two-day turnarounds that limit preparation (of course, that does go both ways, doesn't it?).
That was a REALLY physical game IMO. Both teams really went after it.Buttgers had them on the ropes. Do we assume it was because R was just as physical?
I can not add any meaningful information on the upcoming Houston game but the last Top 25 ranking had them as #6. They must have impressed a few people, plus they only have 3 losses? All I know is they better get real 2/3 Zone smart in a few days.As a little more data: this Houston team, per KenPom ratings is better than both our 2010 and 2012 teams...

yeah good point. I have often wished throughout the year (and recent seasons) that the inside out game would be used more bc it is so effective...especially on 3%...but JB doesnt seem to use it at all. Once a guy has the ball down low he just wants them to go.Houston does swarm on defense but our approach is to swing the ball and use the dribble/drive. Teams that play inside out are much more common and Houston really focuses on taking that away. Rutgers at times hurt them off the bounce but they just don't have the offensive firepower.
I've always thought that plays to our advantage. Big time.With five days to prepare, I like our chances here. It's the two-day turnarounds that limit preparation (of course, that does go both ways, doesn't it?).
