the defense really improved becuase mccarty and harwell and been firmly inserted into the rotation as 3s, and sahko is back (weve played bigger)-- and improved rotations

but offensively

  • i dont think harwell’s 3pt shot is fixable this season… would love for him to establish other types of offense…post up, drives idk…giving him 18 shots to only make 5 isnt sustainable at 3pt line . it will improve just not sure this season
  • on the reverse, ive seen mccarty hit 15 3s in a row MULTIPLE times in drills… him being 20% from 3 just doesn’t make sense …his shot is fixable this season … but adjustments need to be made

It’s fogies, nor foagies. If you’re going to be pejorative, at least spell it right.

And the blue still sucks.

Now get off my lawn :older_man:

Last years blue jerseys looked like old Houston Police cars. These were much better. At times, I couldn’t tell they were blue on TV.

If this was coaches call, he made a good one.

We finally have a conference game where I did not have to criticize the offense.

Luckily not enough blue on the jerseys to cause damage.

I thought that was a pretty good call Saturday. Too bad they don’t have sports betting in Texas

I’m a foagie, and I wore my Houston Blue that I bought from Rally House, last year

Oh wow… our metrics are fixing themselves over time as our team continue to gel together and the 4 frosh continue to mature and the seniors round into form?! Who woulda thunk it?!

tbf they didn’t budge after beating tech and arkansas so we gotta get some more conference blowouts than last season plus i feel like we’d have to beat both iowa state and zona to get a 1 again lol

I just wish that Cenac could play with his back to the basket. Not sure why he doesn’t.

Back from the game and glad we won big – thanks to our defense and rebounding. I swear I thought we were from the mason’s union after laying so many bricks in the first half. Thankfully we picked it up in the 2nd half.

I really think Flemings needs to focus on not fouling so much early in the game. He had 10 points and 7 assists. Imagine what his stat line would be in 30+ minutes. We didn’t need him so much against WVU or BU, but we need him full time against TT, AZ, KU, ISU, etc. Really against the whole gamut of the B12.

Every game I respect and admire Walker more and more. He could have transferred a few years ago and gotten a lot of PT elsewhere, probably even starting. But he stayed and gives an all out effort in the limited minutes he gets to play. He sets an example for the young guys, he is the poster boy for our culture.

I was happy to see Harwell get 7 points, but I wish he would start hitting more 3s, 1 of 6 from the arc isn’t good enough. I am waiting for him to hit his full stride because I think he can be really good. Same for McCarty.

Cenac is really smooth and is a rebounding machine. I love to watch him play.

All in all a good win and a chance for the young’uns to get some valuable PT.

Eh I’m pretty sure we were in the 17 to 19 range prior to Tech but I could be wrong…

On second thought I might be thinking of NET. I look at too many numbers too periodically to keep track in my head lol
