Gameday Thread: Houston vs. Wichita State - 7pm at Fertitta Center or on CBS Sports Network (W 79-70)

We’re thinking of a few. Any suggestions that we can bring to? We want to keep doing the dunk ratings, and apparently it’s become an expectation for them to be there now.

I thought he played well. You can see improvement from game to game. He needs to get his wind. He tires quickly.

I love this coach.

“If I am going to be doing the cooking let me buy the groceries”.

Yeah. Gotta remember that even though White is built solid, he is 6’7 at best and is bumping bodies with guys that outweigh him by 20 or 30 lbs. So he is not only not 100% in shape but playing in a higher weight class. I think one more off season of adding mass and he will be a stud power forward his last two seasons.

CKS said that Fabian is still basically in November as far as conditioning.

BIG PICTURE
Wichita State:
The Shockers led for the majority of the first half and kept it close throughout the second half, but Houston forced Wichita State into bad shots in the second half and nine of its 15 total turnovers. The Shockers stayed in it due to 3-point shooting, hitting 9 of 24, and shot well from the free throw line, connecting on 83 percent.

Houston: The Cougars continue to play well in transition, with a 17-7 advantage in fast-break points and played well defensively, especially in the second half. Houston passed the ball well, with 17 assists on 25 field goals. Galen Robinson Jr. had 11 assists. Houston continued the trend of sluggish first halves before coming alive in the second half.

1. Same song, different verse — The Shockers led for almost the entire game against Davidson and Temple and fought back to challenge Alabama and Memphis. On Saturday, WSU again showed some fight to battle against Houston.

What do all those game have in common? Losses for WSU.

“Seems like a broken record: we play well for 20 minutes or so, then things don’t go our way and we can’t right the ship,” WSU coach Gregg Marshall said.

“You never know when Armoni is going to make 5 out of 6 (shots),” Sampson said. “Like in the first half, he was in the witness protection program. I don’t even remember it. Was he out there? Look at what he did in the second half. That’s why you just have to hang in there with him. You’ve got to know your players.”

Yeah, I don’t think a majority of the students will care if some dork gets courtside and doesn’t want to stand the entire game. Might as well get seats right behind the band and complain they are standing. :grinning:

I love that “Everything Hurts” shirt.

Is that official gear?

He is streaky no doubt but CKS just said he had a free reign
