Re: South Region Discussion
There's nothing that Illinois could have done with that buzzsaw. Although Houston's in the AAC, they play like a Big 12 team. It seems that a lot of Texas teams have the same DNA in their defense whether its Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor and Houston. They're a prime example of what total commitment to defense looks like. We show it in spurts.
Houston can beat Gonzaga. They're smarter and more consistently physical than Memphis, and they know how to play the interior. I don't know how they lost their Quad 1 games, but it seems they're peaking right now.
In a game against them, we would need everyone clicking on all cylinders.

Re: South Region Discussion
It looks like the line has hardly moved for tonight's game. Still -9.5.

TCU turns it over on 21% of their possessions (ranked in the #330s)

Re: South Region Discussion
I dont understand how they don't get how forward momentum works. Are you supposed to let go immediately and then do a backflip and land on your feet?
Re: South Region Discussion
I don't know why but I expected more out of Ohio St today.

Re: South Region Discussion
I did too. This game is such a snooze fest. Hope Michigan gives Nova a better game.

Re: South Region Discussion
Playing a 7 or 11 seed to get to the Final 4 sure would've been nice.

Re: South Region Discussion
Kelvin looks like he thinks reaching the Sweet Sixteen is the ultimate ceiling for his team.
Beat TCU then prove him right.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?
Re: South Region Discussion
That should do it.
Re: South Region Discussion
Ohio St. had so many chances.

Re: South Region Discussion
Yep. If that game happens it's going to go down to the wire. Of course KenPom doesn't properly account for Mark or Sasser injuries (or Kriisa for that matter). I do think that we're a better team than Houston but it's close and we would be playing them 200 miles from their campus

Everyone is mad at us because they didn't call a foul on Arizona at the end of regulation near the half court line.

I figured as much. Seemed like he was out of control and about to commit a backcourt violation, and a call would have been a bailout.RondaeShimmy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 20, 2022 9:43 pm Everyone is mad at us because they didn't call a foul on Arizona at the end of regulation near the half court line.

Like I said in the game thread, if you played soft and finesse, you were not going to get calls.
If you were aggressive and assertive, you'd get calls for you called left and right. For both teams.

Most of Benn's dunks were and 1's that weren't called.

TCU is the LAST team to complain about fouls tonight.

Benn had so many non-calls near the basket

Re: South Region Discussion
The tcu player fell trying to avoid a backcourt. It was an amazing trap and a foul would’ve been horse shit in that situation. Fuck Avery Johnson and the fat boy in purple. Bear down!

Re: South Region Discussion
3 of their guys had career games, and they beat Kansas with a far inferior game as a team. Please just defensive rebound vs Houston. Do that and get back to our regular offensive flow and we'll be alright

Re: South Region Discussion
Avery Johnson was also calling for a foul when the TCU player walked himself into an elbow.
Re: South Region Discussion
And of course we're the last game on Thursday....

Re: South Region Discussion
We survived TCU's best shot. It seems we always get the opposing team's best game of the season.
