2024-2025 Houston Cougars Basketball Season

A tale of two schedules.

First 11 games - Eight predicted double digit wins. At Kansas stands out as the toughest game, followed by at West Virginia and home vs. Texas Tech.

Last 9 games - all games predicted to be decided by single-digits.

I like how it sets up. A big win streak early could really boost the teams confidence. Then after we’ve hopefully gotten a little healthier we move into the tougher part of the schedule.

We lose at Kansas almost guaranteed

Roberts getting going is the answer to that

I hate that we have 5 more days before another game. Hate it for the players even more. We are so much better when we actually play games

We win at Kansas guaranteed


I feel like we are more beat up as a team when we aren’t playing games. We seemed like the walking wounded the last two games following a lengthy break.

Unlike last season which was mostly 2 or 3 days rest this season adds 2 or 4 days mixed into the schedule.

I hate how this schedule worked out with such long breaks between games.

If the conference is going to stick with 20 game schedules then it needs to start moving some conference games into December

Wasn’t it the same early in last season’s schedule?

Good question. I don’t remember and I”m too lazy to look it up. It just feels like there are more 7+ day gaps between games.

no we had 13 non con last year
 only 11 this year
 
conference play still starts at the same time

we are normally 2 a week 
 and 2 once a week because of the shift
 sampson lobbying to go back to 13

But I’m talking about the length of days between games?

thats what i meant
 we removed to games before the new year (non con) and added them after the new year (conference)
 we had 2 long gaps this year where there is normally a game inbetween

It is obvious TA and Jo Jo need to get more minutes. They are the two best players on this team.

Louder

Well TA isn’t fully healthy yet, that’s the only thing keeping his minutes down. JoJo is now starting, the only thing that limits his minutes is Jojo, and his stupid fouls. Until those 2 things are fixed they arent gonna be playing 28+ minutes.
