2023-24 Houston Cougars Basketball Season

You can find Kansas on espn+ with the rest.

KU has a losing record since we played and we’ve mostly handled business since so I wouldn’t fret too much over it

But they already covered a Duke-UNC game this season. Get some variety, geez.

Using the NET, here is how many wins Big 12 teams have over the top 75 minus any losses to teams outside the top 75.

15 Houston
12 Iowa State
11 Baylor
9 Kansas
8 BYU
7 Texas Tech
6 TCU and Oklahoma
5 Texas

And the ACC;

6 North Carolina
5 Duke
3 Clemson and Virginia

But sure, ESPN do that game again and push the Big 12 manipulation of the NET narrative some more.

They did it on purpose to keep us from having nice things.

someone should add up the non-con Q1 wins for all the conferences.
I do know Big 12 has best record against P6 schools.

Gotta keep those east-coasters happy, no matter what.

But haven’t you heard that the Big 12 is illegally tampering with the NET? :rofl:

For those wondering, every once in while they do practice FT’s. Just when they’re in the mood of course. Sarcasm free of charge.

I’m guessing we’ll be seeing more of that as some of the prognosticators realize how depleted we are.

It’s not an under ranking when he and most other bracketologists have been consistently prognosticating that we’ll likely be the 3rd number one seed.

Smaller bracketologists has us at 2nd overall right now so I’m thinking the consensus is that us and UConn are pretty interchangeable

Im starting to not like pezman. Instead of wanting to get better and add more things it seems like we fight an uphill battle trying to get stuff. Its irritating at this point.

I.e bathrooms
More lights/fix panels that are broken
More merch stuff for basketball
More balls to say f u to the titans
Better seats and student experience
More food options
Better tailgate parking options
More transparency
More interaction with the fan base
