I was at that one as well. Don’t think we had another sellout until FC.

Everyone behind the college gameday desk seems to be wearing blue :man_shrugging:t2:

I live between Austin and San Antone, in Wimberley, which is closer to Austin. We’re in range of the Austin TV stations. Game is on local CBS affiliate. Watched the news on that station (KEYE) last night. Their sports part had a brief section of the final four. Their reporter was in SA and interviewed fans. No mention of UH, their fans, team, anything. You wouldn’t know UH existed. An employee of the Statesman newspaper said it was Austin media policy to never mention UH in Austin. Guess that’s true. It must irk them to have to carry the game.

Duke is a 5.5 point favorite. The public expects Duke to win 2 out of every 3 match ups against UH.

Duke beat Auburn and Alabama, who both beat Houston.
Houston beat Kansas who beat Duke.
Both have beaten Baylor and Arizona, but Duke beat them worse.

Duke is undefeated when scoring 73 or more.
Houston is undefeated when holding teams to 68 or less.

Buckle up men, it’s going to be a war!

Duke beat Arizona by more early but the most recent match ups we beat them by 8 and they beat them by 7. Only difference is we did it short handed. But I agree with you that it’s going to be a war. Nothing less than our A game will cut it.

not sure why but today isn’t as anxiety inducing as last sunday or how monday could be if we win today lol

PNW gameday fare: Blood Orange sangria, local beers, chorizo and green chile totchos, and beef fajitas.

coverage has already started on CBS

im flipping between that and the Valero Open

Think making it to the final four and cutting down was a significant milestone.

Don’t think falling tonight would sting as much as it would have had, had we not made it to the Final Four,

I was in the line of students that got denied


Feels like the super bowl. I gotta admit, its weird to have this much attention on UH. But the Duke arrogance brings it back to normalcy

the spotlight was always going to be on us to some extent since 22-23 but the problem was we couldn’t stay healthy if our lives depended on it the last couple years :sob:

Day has been a cluster. I 10 is s nightmare . Got to my hotel 17 miles from Alamodome st 1:50. Front fest refuses to allow you up check in their 3:00 time. Coog fans sitting in lobby waiting. Says house keeping is de Swamped because hotel is full. But what pissed me off was he refused to even check to see is available!
