I LIKE IT when UH is the underdog.

I think the Committee hedge by putting Auburn the overall #1 to guarantee the SEC a spot in the Finals. AP poll and metrics had Duke (1), Houston (2), Florida (3), and Auburn (4), in that order at the end of the conference tournaments.

I’m all for that too. Like that we are the underdog for once!

But to be clear, don’t pull that ā€œIDGAF what you think about Dukeā€ crap on me. I’m your fellow fan - one that is nothing but 100% supportive of this team and for 5 decades.

If you mean that (not GAF), then just don’t respond to my posts where I stated that Duke is good. My reply was to someone that indicated Duke should be pretty easyā€¦ā€œguards not impressiveā€, ā€œonly 1 big and with bad handsā€ etc…

Has Duke played an ultra physical defense like ours all year? Auburn is the closest I can think of but they don’t play like us

I don’t think anyone has played a defense like ours except those on our schedule.

Duke has looked VERY impressive in the tourney.

That said, so have we, ESPECIALLY today.

And we do have, for all intents and purposes, the home court advantage.

THIS IS THE YEAR WE WIN IT ALL!!!

UH alum here who lives in San Antonio. Here are some tips:

If you can, get a hotel room on the riverwalk, but probably nothing available. There are some great resorts at La Cantera and the Hyatt Hill Country. For more budget, look around the airport area and 1604 and Hwy 281. If doing an AirBnB, don’t do one in Dignowity, near the stadium. Not a good area.
Top food places - best to not eat on the riverwalk (too crowded and lousy mexican)
Good Mexican food - Mi Tierras, La Fogata, El Milagrito
Breakfast - Magnolia Pancake House
Outdoor Food - La Hacienda

Be sure to go by the Pearl complex and walk along the river there.

That’s what we thought in 1983.

Going to need to be very smart on defense again. There aren’t many times you can put a hand on Cooper Flagg or one of his teammates without the ref giving them the whistle
