Houston must defend home court against Arizona. Beat Arizona and we come out of this 3 game stretch in no worse than a tie for first place. If you can steal one at Iowa State or Kansas then even better
These upcoming games are like playing in the sweet 16, elite eight and final four. But with the amount of focus and playing for each other on the road mentality and Sampson as coach, I feel good about them winning tomorrow night.
They would have the head to head with Arizona, so winning one of these roads games is crucial.
Agree.
And I don’t disagree with their assessment. I also know we play better as the dog…especially on the road. It’s always been that way. Deeper than sports. It’s part of our university DNA.
Defense travels.
Do you think Lath and Sakho have a little pep in their step based on their play against Kansas St.?
I think they’re peppy
Lath as an actual difference maker is mind-boggling.
Kelvin Sampson on playing at Iowa State in a Big Monday showdown (and others):
https://x.com/ChrisYBaldwin/status/2023089203295178898?s=20
Early line has Coogs +1 1/2 with a total of 134 1/2.
I can’t believe this game is tomorrow, such a quick turn
We win 3 for the 3 pest.
Iowa St. played Saturday also, so they will be as rested as UH. The Hilton Magic will give Iowa St. some extra octane in the tank.
Only big 12 venue we have not won at.
fantastic opportunity for the coogs and iowa state. nba and nhl on hiatus and its the only college game of note.
and with AZ losing great chance for either one to grab a one seed if they can win out for the season starting tomorrow.
So do we roll out the same gameplan as last year?
Put Milan on an island to get his points and force Lipsey and the other guards to take contested 3s since we will clog the lane.
Yes! Both Sakho and Lath look fresh, ready, and aggressive. UH will need them both before the end of the year. I have a feeling that we will run into some whistle happy refs soon enough.
