Is this just a guess or you know for sure?

If it’s happening is it neutral site again like last year?

I have never liked the “Houston” font. It seems too pointy to me for some reason. I prefer the “Cougars” in that font. Otherwise, I like the uniforms. P.S.- Do we have two versions of white uniforms? Is one of those a remake of the throwback jersey? If so, willl they not wear the original throwback jersey?

I finally watched Hoosiers for the first time the other day. As I watched, I kept thinking the University of Indiana would have some significant role in the movie and it never did. lol

Whew, that closing stretch is a doozy.

My only issue with the red ones is they are too similar to these Rockets ones

But I guess they are fine, I had to look it up but the only rockets jerseys that are red and say Houston on them are the yellow and red ones

Are you ready for some Cougar basketball?

The Big 12 has 8 teams in the rop 25.

What’s funny is when I was in school in the early 2000s we used the navy quite a bit and I remember people hating it. It was always a big topic and people wanted us to go back to the straight red and white. Funny how time can change things

How are these compiled? I know there’s a lot of analytics that go into KenPom’s rankings but how do you do that pre season? Is he using expected stats or last season’s numbers? How does he factor in freshman performance. KenPom always loves us due to efficiency numbers and defense so it’s not a massive surprise to be honest. I doubt we top the other polls right away though

Is there a role over from previous season that is faded out through the next season

Those new blacks are so much better, the old ones you could barely read names or numbers because there was no outline.

That was my thought as well. The white boarder around the red lettering is a massive improvement

The black uniforms looks like a Chicago Bulls uniform.

Can we just start this season already!?! I have never wanted to see my team play the #326 KenPom ranked team so badly in my life!

The case for Houston at No. 1 (field of 68 article talking about use being unanimously #1 in all computers )

AP poll drops today. I predict we’ll be #5 behind Kansas, Duke, Alabama and UConn.

Edit: I was wrong. We are #4 behind Kansas, Alabama and UConn.
