That West bracket is 2x tougher than any other. That would not happen.

This is most important week of season so far imo. 2 wins will be major in more ways than one. Will give younger team big momentum heading into week of WSU road game. Of course will also put them worse case in the 25-30 rankings w good chance of reaching top 25. Lastly will draw attn to casual Houston area basketball fans n hopefully they purchase those dangling tiks at StubHub to make FC truly look like a packed arena. #GoCoogs

The crowd for UCF was encouraging given the circumstances. If the win streak is still alive when SMU comes to town, the FC should be rockinâ.

I agree on the UCF gm crowd. Even though classes were out there were plenty students in their section. It was late arriving crowd as usual w early tip-off time.
For anyone that caught last nightâs UW/USC game (in Seattle)âŠfor a late Sunday night game, THAT was impressive attendance. Probably 75% fullâŠlots of students. There should not be any more attendance excuses. People should be fist fighting in the streets to get their hands on UH menâs basketball tickets. Babies and/or luxury vehicles should be bartered for season tickets. The UH ticket office phone lines should be constantly busyâŠjust like a PBS telethon selling Bob Ross paintings.
Go attendance!!!

That was a good crowd. I was impressed with their student turnout. I just looked up their academic calendar and their Winter term starts today so that makes more sense on how many students were there.

I like being matched up with Baylor in round 2. Even though they are winning, still a typical Baylor team who is soft and not motivated for most of the game.

Did not BU beat TT in Lubbock this week ?
Baylor is one of the best teams in the country right now, and they arenât soft or unmotivated. Iâd prefer to avoid teams like that until Sweet 16.

Well of course. But if we are a 7-10 seed, I would much rather play Baylor than Gonzaga, Kansas, Duke, Auburn, Michigan St. Their culture hasnât changed. I know the inside of that program, the players, and former players. Only slight difference is they have a few juco/transfers that arenât as entitled.
If they compete well at KU and back it up with a good win over Iowa St like they should, then I will change my opinion some. Winning in Lubbock last year would have been huge. This yearâs Texas Tech has lost to 3 unranked teams and got into dog fights at home against terrible UT-RGV and Southern Miss, down at the half to both. Very inconsistent Tech team.
