Houston Postgame

[orange7]

Tie game and the ball at the end of regulation and you don’t get a shot off. 12 for 29 from the line.

Thats the story.

Unfortunately you are right. That is the story. You make your foul shots and this is a win. Houston made theirs.

I think I saw Adam CuseTroop on TV earlier in the game

 

[Scooch]

On the one hand, I’m thrilled that we played a premiere team even.

On the other hand, we simply can’t be *that* bad shooting threes and free throws. Those are fatal flaws.

My glass is gonna be half full for the next 22 hours. But we gotta beat Kansas tomorrow. Gotta.

Lots of positives. Lock the boys in the gym at the FT line.

I don’t know. I thought Kyle got fouled. We’ll learn from this.

So did I replay clearly showed his wrist got hit , there is a 50 %?chance he hits one of the 2 free throws.

Thats the story.

He got the shot off.

He also got HACKED on the arm, and then it got blocked.

He shoulda been shooting 2.

Also - that challenge call was BS.
They showed one angle where the ball CLEARLY went off the Coug players fingers.

Anyway - awesome effort.
They battled the whole way.

All without our top scorer.

He’s in Florida, I believe so probably not.

 

[Scooch]

I think he could take over Monmouth and they’d get worse.

You should definitely keep posting about it. It’s riveting.

 

[Ottoman]

They played some damn good defense. William Kyle was spectacular.

But our offense was rough - aside from Betsey who came up big. The guard play needs to get better for us going forward.

 

[Cuse House]

I don't believe in morale victories. With that being said, the result today in a loss shows me we have a good team that should easily make the tournament. I do not understand the complaining. We just played an OT game on a neutral site against the number 3 team in the country and we easily could have won.

It felt awesome being in a close game against a top team again. I think we win Tuesday and Weds, and then we get a packed dome for Tennessee.

This was a fantastic effort. We have a squad ladies and gents.

 

[CuseCPT]

Multiple things can be true at once. Yes, we lost the game at the FT line but we still might have pulled it out with a few less of the laughably bad calls.

Also, Houston is a really easy to team to dislike.

I planned on it

 

[jdubs30]

We can put it to bed that we can’t compete without Donnie. Tyler Betsey is a player. So is Sadiq. Together they can make up his production.

We have to get to at least 60-65% from the line.

I’d say it’s a good sign when the group consensus is we play “better” without JJ than with. We also play “bettter” without Donnie than with.

Just seems to me that we have good depth

 

[Cuse19]

Refs were bad down the stretch (OoB call, missed travel, foul on George late, etc.) but we had out chances and didn't take them.
FT shooting seems like the obvious factor here, but have to be pumped to see us compete against #3 like that, especially without DF. The Kansas game is a huge opportunity for us. Let's get the win!

brutal loss

I pray that Donnie is back for that game against Tennessee

Seriously we need shot doctors and sports psychologists galore.

 

[blust2i3d4]

We have a good team. I think we compete #4 of ACC against SMU. I don't think NC State is a good team.

I doubt houston stays this highly ranked

 

[DoctahLexus]

we win this one with Donnie. He could actually make a damn free throw

 

[althea]

Nope. The story is that we competed all game with a defensive intensity that we haven't seen in years. The story is that we were down 11 late and tied the game and had a great chance to win. We have issues. But we compete.

Exactly.

 

[Newhouser]

Best effort in ages. Excited for the season. UPS and downs coming I'm sure but we are athletic and won't get physically punked. Decision making needs to improve especially with the guards, but overall we can't be displeased.

 

[Scooch]

This board really has become Preexisting Opinion Theater. Those who are completely dug in that Red sucks as a coach are gonna blame everything on him.

I’m not even saying you’re wrong, I really don’t know. But he can’t shoot threes and he can’t shoot free throws. That why we lost tonight.

The defensive intensity and resilience, things we have been sorely lacking for years, and things that tend to be a reflection of the coach, entirely kept us in that game.

 

[capeorange]

I guess JJ is ok at the end of the game because nobody on the team can shoot free throws. Anthony is not ready for prime time, he needs to get stronger and quit jacking 3's.
What a fun game to watch.
What could have been...
