Game 23: #5 Houston @ Colorado (W 69-59)

I’m happy with the win. I hang “W’s” around my neck like Fiddy hangs gold. Don’t care how it happened or why. Every game is a street fight.

Don’t look now but KSU is playing some of the best ball in the conference. Doubtful they could still earn a play-in spot but they could win the conference tourney.

Which is very, very common in basketball. It is a way of conveying how many possesions are needed for the team that is trailing late in a game (or half) to possibly catch up. Particuarly in the shot-clock era.

Example…in an NBA game with say 45 seconds left…Team A makes a free throw to increase their lead from 6 to 7. It is almost a guarantee that the announcers will say “3 possesion game” at that exact moment.

Have you seen what we have been doing to “midgets” this year?

I didn’t know any of that. Thanks for the thorough explanation.

When they shoot the ball and score, is it 2 points or 3? Gets so confusing at times.

Ha ha…cute!

But you’re the one claiming announcers were “amateur hour” for using that term. How dare they…unheard of! :wink:

Seriously, sounded like you hadn’t watched a close basketball game in the last 40 years. Or maybe you had the audio turned down.

Same

Close game… too close for comfort…
On a side note, Our radio guy does the work of TWO men and does a damned good job.

Miller played five minutes and the only stat that showed up was 0-1 from the field

Francis commits 4 fouls in less than 4 minutes. WTF?

Tugler no points. WTF?

If 2 of our 3 bigs play like this, it can kill us in games. Unacceptable.

Rather not

we did our job of going 2-0 this week but hoping the schedule ramping back up is a wakeup call bc today reminded me of all those struggle games we had a couple years ago lmao

Shot clock violation occurred prior to Luzan’s bunny hop.

Tuglar contributed to winning: 10 rebounds

The fact that it was close is my fault. I was at gymnastic practice until 5 minutes were left in the game. Once I started watching we kicked ass.
In other good news I got my first font tuck on the floor! Now I just need to stand it up every time.

Tugler is Tugler. He isn’t going to be a scorer. He’s a bull in a china closet. But damn is he dominant underneath the net. Can you imagine bruises the other guys have. Harris didn’t score but he was dominant on the boards and helped start the great Coog Rennaisance.
