Game 35: #16 Northern Kentucky vs #1 Houston - NCAA Tournament - March 16th, 2023 - 8:20 pm CST - TNT (W 63-52)

just fyi, espn’s bpi scroll gives northern kentucky a 2% chance to win and make the round of 32.

Nothing is impossible, however improbable.

Can anyone make Sasser out in this photo?

NVM. The quality is killed posting it here

yes he is at the corner 3… more telling both arc and sharp are back to their gray jersey, meaning trhey arent prepping them for the main rotation

You must have 20-20 vision.

Sasser is questionable for the game tomorrow, game time decision.

Here at Livingston State Park with my daughter. I got a Go Coogs from a group of UH students here. They said they know what they’ll be doing tomorrow night.

Came in from doing a bit of yard work and something called “the coaches bracket” is on CBS……

This show is the equivalent of watching a couple of guys with a camcorder 20 years ago.

One guy has repeatedly called Purdue the “overall number 1 seed”

Then the other guy has said that UH was “absolutely pasted” by Memphis and then a bit later says “UH confidence is shot after being destroyed by Memphis”.

Never mentioned Sasser our first team All-American was out….and lost our confidence? Clearly this guy knows nothing about UH.

I’m digging deep here, but I really think if Sasser were truly a game time decision, he would be much more somber than this. This feels like gamesmanship to me.

lol Sasser will play if it’s his decision. The only one to hold him back would be the coaching or medical staff.

Im scared of NKU. I’ve never experienced being a 1 seed in my lifetime. I didn’t’ expect to be nervous to play a 16 seed.

i want to be scared of nku and do the 1 game at a time thing… but nku is bottom 40 nationally in defensive rebounding… have no major shot creators off the dribble
i worry about shot making especially with sasser doubts… but this is a game we can win with culture

Sasser stuff is making me nervous. Of course we can’t ever just have nice things. He probably won’t be 100% until next weekend (if we make it of course)

I feel like if we can survive the first weekend we’ll just fine

But man is it frustrating to have the third tournament in a row get put in jeopardy due to injuries lol
