2026-27 Houston Cougars Basketball Season

It was a good defense statistically but according to UH standards it wasn’t as crisp as that ‘21 team.

If you are referring to me, no I have not forgotten about his freshman year. If we had him for at least three years we would have won a national title with him IMO. But such is life now. And he himself said after the loss to Illinois that it felt different playing against the older guys.
Fleming is one of the best guards we have ever had here and certainly one of my all time favorites. But unfortunately few freshmen, even great ones, are ready to play big physical old me like Illinois lol. We had the same problem with Arizona but to a lesser degree IMO…

Great Analysis,

One thing I would tweak is JoJo 30 minutes, him being foul prone will make that very unlikely, JoJo playing 22 minutes is more realistic and East playing at 10-12 minutes and Jackson playing closer to 12 minutes is a good goal.

Flemdawg wasn’t the freshman that lost that game for us… Cenac couldn’t hit wide open jumpers for the entire first half and by the time we pivoted from that gameplan we were done…

I think Hadnot might shoot himself into more minutes but all depends on how good Mercy is this season…

1, I think they should be different lists for PG and SG/WG. 2 I have no idea what criteria people are using, just vibes? Or Player at his peak, his best season, overall talent? Or simply if you had to pick 1 to win a game or for a season?

Going with best, at their peak.

Tier 1
Grimes
Shead
Sasser
Tier 2
King
LJ
Sharp
Deeky
Rob
Tier 3
Hinton
Galen
Brooks
Tramon

If they had been here longer, all of Kingston, Hinton, and Brooks definitely move up a tier; Hinton maybe 2.

Do you rip off all your content?

Back to next year, when thinking about minutes. This is the last 5 years of data.

This guy doesn’t post for 6 months and comes out shooting. Wow.

There must be some misunderstanding.

Shooting blanks. Meh.

I never said he was…in previous post I have said on more than once that Cenac fell apart. My point even Flemings himself said he was a tad awe struck by the Illinois “old” warriors. I also said Flemings is obviously one of the all time Coog point guards

Here’s the context. Not sure if Huge A-hole is joking or not. If he’s not he’s ignorant of the amount of effort and time @monceaux puts into covering Coog sports.

Seems like Grimes is missing some minutes here.

Barstool does, in fact, rip off all their content.

And that logo is worse than literally any of the mockups I’ve seen. “Not as bad as some might imagine” or whatever the K-State guy said was overselling it.

Not that it means anything but Lunardi’s latest Bracketology has UH moved up to a #3 seed.

Also has TEN Big 12 teams getting in….that would be cool if that were the case.
