Point spread is 6.5

Our Cougars have an 80% chance to win per ESPN.

I am speaking for myself.

That sounds low. That means if they play 5 times buy wins one.

I think it’d be closer to 1/10

85

CKS would never go that far but hopefully Lath, Mercy and KJ all play 12 minutes each today

You are so right. I do say dumb and idiotic things on this board. I’m really happy you are here to straighten me out and make me understand how Kelvin and the team operates. Thanks for bringing that to light.

I really appreciate you pointing this out…

Over two seasons, BYU is 1-9 in Big 12 play when they score under 70. UH is responsible for two of those losses:

I must have missed it but what happened to Catchings, the son of WNBA great Tamika, who seemed to be playing really well earlier in the season?

93

He hyper extended his knee/leg a few games back.

Thankfully wasnt season ending

94

I would have thought at the time it would be a tough injury for them to overcome but they have played well since.

95

To add to what @Coog1992 said, he’s been day to day for the last two weeks basically. I expect him to be back for the big dance and rest til then

96

Ok then I fully understand and expect a BYU win….now we are back on a level playing field lol.

This is the way.

I think this will be a close matchup for both Cougar teams. Some random thoughts:

  • BOMBS AWAY. BYU feasts on the 3 pointer and with BYU packing the paint, UH will need to be able to match them in 3 point shots.
  • I want to see UH driving to the basket to draw some big man fouls.
  • No lead is safe. Hitting 3s can close a gap fast. Teams will need to play 40 minutes of defense.
  • BYU has some tall guards. I hope Arceneaux and Wilson are on their A game on defense.
  • A loose whistle benefits UH.
  • I am not sure if Walker is ready to compete, but his defense against BYU’s guards would be a plus if available.

Let’s suit up and play.

Walker is out for the rest of year trying to get a medical redshirt

A loose whistle definitely benefits Houston. Houston is way more physical than BYU
