Just going to assume a lot of commentary didn’t age well here. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
This was a great win battling obstacles on the road. I was highly suspect of the officiating and we overcame that along with the foul trouble to close the game. We battled through all that, on the road against a good team on a day our two sharp shooters weren’t hitting shots. I think the legacy of J’Wan just hit another level after the previous game and 2nd half today. It was also nice to humble “punk” Hall this game with 5 turnovers, 4 called fouls and just 6 points. We did that despite having to sit Tugler an entire half.

I’m not a basketball expert and I’m sure the “experts” will nit-pick and complain about something, but from my Lazy-Boy recliner, I saw Francis and Roberts play big boy basketball. I guess one could argue that the Coogs need more consistency from the guards, but today’s road win was a classic example of a culture win, and that culture comes from CKS. What can you say? CKS just finds a way to get our kids to fight, scratch, and scramble for a tough road win. Great job by the Coogs!

Just from the same usuals, who have to join Cinci Justin, in the, “turns out you’re stupid, you should go to the shut up corner.”

Winning on the road in the Big12 is always tough. Getting a win when LJ + Sharp go 3-13 from three and you get nothing from Jojo + TA. Says something about this team.

20-1 in our last 21 Big12 games and eeyores like Pearland and Bandera act like we are a middling AAC team. Shameful. Chances are very high UH fans will never have it this good again. How some folks can’t enjoy this ride is unbelievable

has enough celebration time gone by for me to be critical???

dodges tomatoes*

we have shown our guards can score on subpar defensive guards - give our guards space and they will rain 3s on you

we shown our bigs can score on weaker defensive bigs (like hall)- if jwan is stronger than his matchup he can score

NOW- i dont think our guards have proven they can score on a top level defense guard unit
 and i dont think our bigs can score on a elite level defensive unit

there are few teams that have both and then a good enough offense on top of that to score on us BUT in the conversation of Title run, all it takes is one loss

our guard unit has to learn to score even with pressure in their face to reach that next level

Except we are a great three point shooting team and we still don’t die by it.
