Sounds like JoJo is contending for starting. Kellen said “weather JoJo hears his name called out with the first 5 we will see soon enough, but he’s a starter”

I do wish we could get more basketball questions about this team and players. These interviews are fun but they are more like a walk down memory lane

the elite 8 team at full strength has to be up there

sampson said preseason that the core of that team would be sasser, tramon and fabian …and we lost all 3 for most of the season and still made the elite 8…

Fabian was healthy that 2021-22.

Unfortunately, i think he was having back issues towards the end of the season

After the UAB win, his production wasn’t there the next 3 games (Illinois, Arizona, Villanova)

“Can Houston find enough minutes for Joseph ‘JoJo’ Tugler?
JoJo Tugler would probably start for 363 of the 364 Division I teams this year.”

Man started tearing up when CKS was at the podium talking about RC.
I held my hand up when Shead sunk the winning shot with the classic line of “Jamal Shead plays hero again.”

I am not sure if I am the only one nervous but I feel the biggest unknown is Milos Uzan and his impact on this team negatively or positively. The PG is like the QB in football. If he plays well, we will be ok else not ok. We shall see.
