Postgame Thoughts... Houston (NCAAT)

[Mchandl8]

We need more scorers and shooters. Benny will help but we need another guard and a stretch 4. Your not gonna win many games with Buddy being the only shooter on the floor and him being shut down. Braswell is a nice player but he would be better moving on

What? Moving on like transfering?? No thanks, I'll keep him

Fun March. Sucks we lost. Really thought we were going to the Final Four.

 

[supp]

I really hate that we played that bad.. they aren’t good. They foul like crazy.. but they get easy af osu…

The two mentor vs protege storylines for the elite eight got blown up tonight.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

Too many important players had complete clunkers. It happens. On to 2021-22.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Needed buddy to keep fire and he was eh

Tough to do with their lockdown perimeter defenders. And, the lack of any sort of interior presence on offense made it even easier for them.

 

[kirbivore]

Houston kicked our butts.

College hoop is still a horrific style of basketball.

We literally started our worst possible starting lineup all year and made the sweet 16.

Unleash Kadary next year please.

Unfortunately the Uncle Dennis in his life will convince him to leave

 

[Mchandl8]

I realize this team isn’t “great”

But the Final Four was legitimately in reach. I believe that.

so disappointed - my girl is hiding the razor blades as we speak lol

Yeah, thats why I feel so crappy right now. Oregon State we woulda beaten, I'm sure

 

[OrangeDW]

Appreciate a second weekend run. Always fun.

Glad Buddy got hot for a few weeks.

Wish the rotation had expanded sooner.

I honestly don't understand how Joe starts over Kadary. At all.

Feels like we were an AG block away from missing the tourney.

Very worried about the turnover on the roster.

As long as Kadary and Jesse stay, I don’t care.

Those 2 with Benny and Buddy, and whatever role players around them and I’m good. Intrigued by Frank. Would like to see us have a actual centers playing for 40 minutes next year and him and Jesse being those guys.

 

[chop block]

We didn't hit shots, houston played great defense, people complained about refs but we still didn't hit shots, people complained about coaching but we still didn't hit shots, people complained about guys that are going to transfer but we still didn't hit shots

Absolutely. I mean a 12 seed was the next game. We had a legitimate shot but there was really just little rhythm ever tonight.

I know what you're saying, but Kadary didn't add anything tonight.

Nice to make a Sweet 16 in a weird year. Our best players were the bench players JB dnp'd and neglected. This season could/should have ended in the NIT.

We are way better if Alan doesn't come here and those minutes went to Bras/Jesse/Kadary/Woody.

I'd love to bring everyone but him back and stay out of the portal mess.

Kid is the best basketball player on the team.

He should average 14, 7, 5, and 2 in 35 mpg and go mid first round next year.

Spot on.

Nice 10-day run, but you can't count on one guy to score 27 ppg. Who were the other scorers supposed to be?

 

[Madbiker]

Worst game Dolezaj ever played. 2 points, 2 rebounds. Houston realized he wasn't going to shoot so no need to guard him. Likely his last game for us too.

 

[007]

Playing with house money. Sweet 16 run despite the obvious team flaws. Tough way to go out, but this team showed some guts in the postseason.

We didn't hit shots, houston played great defense, people complained about refs but we still didn't hit shots, people complained about coaching but we still didn't hit shots, people complained about guys that are going to transfer but we still didn't hit shots

Yet we were hitting enough shots when Jesse played...as I believe he was + for the game

 

[OrangeDW]

I know what you're saying, but Kadary didn't add anything tonight.

We should use him like we used Flynn and Ennis.

Instead we mostly use him like we used Howard.

It’s stupid.

 

[Chalupa_24]

Is sweet 16 enough for recruits….?

 

[Scott11]

I know it feels awful right now but guys take a deep breath. So many of us have been posting here during every game and living and dying on every possession. If you’d had told any of us we were going to get a run like this we would have thought you were crazy. I really appreciate what this team gave us. Let’s not kill them for tonight’s disaster. This was not due to lack of effort.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

I know what you're saying, but Kadary didn't add anything tonight.

We might have started each half better.

Having to wait for him to come in every game has sucked.

Carl with the reality check. Oof it hurts!

 

[Alsacs]

I know what you're saying, but Kadary didn't add anything tonight.

Yeah but he did hit a corner 3 in the second half to make it a 4 point game.
He was are only guard who could actually get by his defender.
Kadary was okay.

Honestly I'm a bit shaken in my faith in JB's rotations. Even if we have capable centers, will they see the court? Did we have them all along? What if Dolezaj returns?

great game. Great year. Houston is a very good team.
