Game 20: #6 Houston @ West Virginia, Wednesday (W 63-49)

I didn’t even think it’s a trap game, it’s a game where we’re not going to be in our best position to win. Sharp will probably still be dinged up, TA same, yeah the physical and mental drain of double OT, travel. It doesn’t bode well, not saying we can’t win, but this won’t be a surprising loss given the circumstances.

As long as we beat TT Saturday I will be happy

We’ll be #6. Tennessee is slightly ahead of us in the rankings. They lost. When you look at the distribution of votes, we have a lot of voters who have us down ballot. We’ll be moving up after this past week. Tennessee had pretty much maxed out their points at this time.

Javier played very little after getting hurt. His status is also concerning.

Would like to know more about Jvier and Arc’s availability for Wed night’s game against WVU. We need to keep that home winning streak going. Those are two of our top rotation pieces and we need their contributions if at all possible.

Ramon warming up at Kansas. He looks close to returning

He played up until the last few minutes of regulation. I think it may have been more of a matchup thing than an injury - hope that’s it.

I don’t recall seeing him in OT.

Going to either Woodrows Eado (if they play ESPN3 games . . . however, I believe they do not) or the Den for this one after work.

Both Javier and Arc only played 15 minutes in Kansas game. Worried about both of their status going forward. Both suffered some sort of minor ( hopefully ) leg injury early in the game. Not sure what part of the game each of their 15 minutes came in.

Francis played 3 min in the first half, then 11 in the second half.

And Arceneaux’s knee thing happened late-ish in the 2nd half. That actually worries more than whatever happened with Francis, since he came back and played pretty well after his early injury.

Game isn’t until Wednesday night. That’s as good as an off time as we’ll get pretty much the rest of the way from here on out with 2 games every week. Hope our guys find a way to get healthier but there’s no excuses for not being able to flush Saturdays big win and getting your mind right for Wednesday night. WVU has lost 2 of their last 3 and 4 of their last 6. We really really need to go in there and win this game or it’s going to be one that will come back to haunt us.

They will be back on a plane Tuesday afternoon. WVU is very capable of getting to playing well like they were in early January w some good Conf wins, including a WIN at Kansas.
All Road games are Street Fights-- Kellen Sampson. :smile:

They’ll have to look elsewhere for a meal.
