Are you ready? Is you ready?

Should be a great crowd tonight. I saw that the student ticket allotment was almost gone.

I think Coogs roll by double digits.
Go Coogs :red_circle:

ready for a big home win tonight!

will move to the low 20’s considering the teams who have lost ahead of us.

Win tonight, then Sunday against USF and at 16-4 move up several spots.

UH is running a special discount for Houston area teachers for tonight’s game for $20 and Saturday’s WBB game for $5

Here’s hoping that the guys have 100% bought in to playing the kind of defense that they displayed at The Roundhouse. If they continue to do that, there is not a team in the AAC that we can’t beat, either at home or on the road. Protect our house tonight men. GO COOGS!

Sims are favoring Coogs quite big in this matchup. In 35 random sims, Coogs victorious in 31 of them, with 16 of them being 20-point-plus wins. Average score is 76-58. UConn missing Tyler Polley apparently doesn’t help its chances much, and the sims are reflecting his absence here as well.

Looking for big things from Deeky tonight. He was huge in Storrs last year even took some of Galens minutes. Tonight he’s gonna play like it’s his birthday.

Good defense is contagious. When you have a defender shutting down their best player, like we shut down Stephenson of WSU, the rest of the team picks it up, and knowing if they don’t CKS will sit them is motivation. Plus, if you have played basketball, holding a high scoring team to 50 pts makes you feel like you balled out.

I noticed UConn D is ranked #49, whereas we are #77.

They also lead the league in blocks per game at 7.1. I think it will be a good game.

Walkup will sell those 50 easily.

Not that I’m complaining, but Jon Rothstein must have a dear family member somewhere that is a UH alum or something…he is good for at least one positive tweet a week about the Coogs and it’s been that way for a while now! Great endorsements!

And Charlie Pallilo endorses Fertitta Center as the best basketball experience in Houston on a regular basis. There is a lot to be proud of as a Cougar.

Today he also said that the longhorn basketball program is a joke so might as well switch allegiances. I chuckled.
