Game 26: #2 Houston @ #6 Iowa State (L 67-70)

(All 3 clips are short)

Difference is they didn’t have to hop on a plane. They played at home Saturday and again Monday. That’s what doesn’t make much sense to me on these quick turnarounds

You normally get these wrong lol

@uncleju true! Lol. Im no pesik

Way wrong on BYU.

Who would’ve thought Cenac on Dybantsa. But worked out well.

Uzan on their best wing, Momcilovic. Makes sense, no?

Uzan guarded Richie Saunders. Chased him around screens all night

@uncleju i also maybe didn’t realize how the staff views Uzan as a defender

Sharp our best on ball defender. Uzan, solid. And Kingston probably our weakest defender of the 3.
So hes assigned a teams 3rd option

Which i probably should’ve known from the Texas Tech game. Cause Kingston was guarding Jaylen Petty. Not Christian Anderson or Atwell.

And then Jojo is a 5 defensively for us. So him guarding Dybantsa, wouldn’t make sense. So, yeah whiffed on that completely.

But this one. I think I nailed :laughing:

Because $$$$$$

Without these top bill Monday turnarounds, ESPN probably loses their a$$ on basketball. It’s just part of it. Gotta pay the piper. I don’t even think about it.

The alternative is you are a nobody and they don’t put you on Mondays at all. That’s never a good thing.

Beyond UH football potential, I guarantee Monday looks like this, putting the Coogs on consecutive Mondays in places like Hilton and the Phog were and are a noticeable selling point to ESPN. As mentioned by others above, we’re gonna have a ton of eyeballs.

In basketball, much as we love it, it’s always about softening the blow, minimizing the risk in the red to our “partners”. Things like this help BY negotiate for that extra little bit that helps us a lot more than some other conferences

They couldn’t allow us to practice at Hilton or something?

Seems weird to have it at their practice facility.

There was a girl’s game today. It’s also right across the street from where I guarantee you’re staying.

They’ll practice (shootaround, walk thru, whatever) in Hilton tomorrow, obviously.

I highly doubt we’d unreasonably give CKS anything less then what he asks for. He’s always had a great relationship with ISU. I’m sure they work together to accommodate ya’ll just fine.

IOWA STATE CHEATS!

We have The Hilton College and they don’t even let us in The Hilton Coliseum?

If I didn’t know you so well, I’d say we had better tread carefully!

Because so far, not a great track record for those leveling THAT particularly charge :wink::wink:

FYI their bball arena is named after one of their former Uni presidents. No relation to the Hotel Hiltons.
