WVU’s loss to Arizona knocked them out of the top 30 in Net. We need them to win at Colorado and have a team or two in front of them lose to get them back up into that Q1 range. They are MUCH better than they were last year, but based off how our boys have been playing, I think there is a world this is still a comfortable double digit win for us.

Not if it is a close game lol

Looks like the WVU team has been in Houston since Sunday. They came straight here after playing at Colorado. Travel does really suck for these corner schools. No wonder Mick Cronin was complaining about the travel.

We have had some great shooters at UH….Wayne Ballard, Mike Young, Birdsong, Jeff Hickman, etc but I Think Sharp is the pure shooter I have ever seen in a Coog uniform.
And the kid has ice in his veins!

Shocked you have him ahead of Birdsong!! I guess what the eyes see in recent times is what registers. Think there’s several other’s but need to take time to go over but Birdsong over Sharp for me. Pure shooter as they came.

Edit: don’t let the Team’s ( Sharp’s) success get you Butch. :smile:

Birdsong was a great shooter and scorer and no doubt one of the all time Coog greats, but he didn’t have the range that guys like Sharp has.
No I will contend Birdsong, Rob Williams and Don Chaney are our all time guards and none them ever shot 3 pointers lol.
Sharp, I should say, is a great long range shooter, the best I have seen here.
Hope that clears it up Jesse

Yes, I read that you agree w me! :laughing::grin:.

Being they played the game 45+ yrs apart it’s always hard to compare such wide range in eras. CGVL didn’t give OB the green light to take those long shots w no 3 pt line in vicinity.
Now Rob Williams did whatever he wanted to on the other hand. :wink:
