I just realized that there’s a Texans game at NRG Thursday night at 7:15. Traffic should be awesome.

Of course…

Last basketball game was on at the exact same time as the Texans, too…!

Had to watch the Texans on my phone & Coogs on my 75" TV… :grin:

So did Jacksonville.

(A nod to us older Coogs, when Jacksonville started 7’2" Artis Gilmore and 7’0" Pembrook Burroughs, and lost to UH in Hofheinz Pavilion.)

I want to see more of Harwell and Mercy tonight. Hope McCarty can get the 3-ball going as well.

Maybe, but I really want to see the defense choke this team out like we did to Utah last year.

Line us now at UH - 40.5. I honestly don’t see us covering that because I think we’re going to use the whole bench tonight and the offense isn’t built to beat teams that bad. Looking for a little Christmas money so I might take advantage of us looking forward to that big tournament starting Monday. Rider has played at Virginia, at Rutgers and at Texas and every game ended with them losing by around 30 or less

I agree that 40.5 is unlikely, but it is possible. Our offense may not be built for that, but our defense is. I see no way they score 65 like they did vs UT. Even the 53 they scored vs UVA and Rutgers is not probable.
With an o/u of 133, 87-46 isn’t unreasonable especially if a usual minimum minutes guy gets hot.

And who runs point if you sit Flemings & Uzan because we’re up big…?

Mercy, McCarty, KJ are all going to look to score and play good D if they get big minutes…

Jefferson is showing to be out, though I don’t know how reliable that is.

8:00 Central.
We don’t need people showing up even later than usual.

I donated my Houston Texans tickets. I’d rather see Rider vs UH.
