That presser by Sampson though. Ok this program was a dumpster when he arrived , but wonder what he gains trashing Renu’s administration on national tv, like that.

It’s game day!

How did he trash her administration?

It’s not trashing if it is the truth. I and 100 others were the only ones in the stadium when Sampson arrived in Houston.

Exactly! The problems started and persisted well before Renu got here.

This basketball program is just one of the many feathers in her cap.

My nephew (and niece) both went to SIU-Edwardsville. He graduated from there.and the family still lives there. Nice enough town - but it’s really not much different from Sugar Land (maybe a bit smaller). Think of the game as UH playing UH-Sugar Land.

Tony Barone’s son coaches there. He was quite the character when he coached at Texas A&M.

RezClone Scouting Report:

I’ve watched SIUE twice this year.

They are actually probably the best defensive team of the low major bottom seeds by quite a bit. Still, that’s only 160th in KenPom.

They want to shorten the game, take care of the ball, lean on their defense and score efficiently in the half court. They are 261st in AdjT and 255th in offense. We’ll throw in that they are 7-8 away from home and they’ve played a bottom 20 SOS in every metric.

Might be the worst formula possible for a low major to give the Coogs any problems.

Coogs by 40.

that stuff is ugly imo, the astros blue and gold star unis on bags+biggio era was best, with of course the orginal astros rainbow maintaining top spot all time.

put that stuff on the baseball board, its ncaa tourney round here :grinning:

Honey hush. It’s obviously a combination of both those eras so you should like it even more! (Sarcasm)

GO COOGS!

I wish we would come up with an alternate “Astronaut” logo…for our city connect jerseys
