When you think about it, everything had to go right for Houston, (not for us) to win.

-our best player is out
-we shoot 12 for 29 from the freethrow line
-Houston got lots of offensive rebounds, but not the kind where you grab it and put it back in. So many of them were long rebounds off the back iron where we really didn’t do anything wrong.  The ball bounced their way.
-in a key sequence of the first half  Uzan banks a three and gets a lucky roll on the rim for five point swing.
-in the second half, sharp is unconscious with the fall away in the lane and the fadeaway three in back to back possession for another five point swing
-we have the ball with a chance to win at the end but George starts two seconds too late. He was open on the baseline for a layup if Kyle had time to pass it back to him.
-Houston got the early whistle and the late whistle. The rest of the game seemed to be called correctly, but the refs definitely gave them a boost down the stretch.  
-Like the Auburn game Houston was not better, just more fortunate.
-Houston made the “tough shots“, our shots were either open looks or layups.  We had great ball movement.

I posted a few times that I thought Houston would do just what they did, pull it out down the stretch because they are “winners” and that’s what winners do.   But all the people making Houston out to be a juggernaut sold us short, but most mostly made them out to be something they weren’t.  (At least not yet)
