Think about where we were before Sampson and where we are now. We made a final 4 before this year. Now we made a championship game. We made Sweet 16s in between. Whether with Kelvin or Kellen, we will be back again. And looking at our incoming class for next year, with more offensive firepower.
Deep down I think everyone thinks that this was CKS’ best chance at a title. He is turning 70 this fall and he likely doesn’t have many more shots at this thing. We will have a great team as long as he is here but I don’t think I will ever be able to get over this one until we finally win one.
Did you watch UH Basketball from 1993-2014 when Brooks, Drexler, McCallum, Pender’s and Dickey were the head coaches? Penders is the only one who took us to one NCAA Tournament. Baseball drew more fans to games than basketball did back then.
Bookmark it, and let’s return to it year after year. I said I don’t think they’re going to win an NCAA championship, not that they’re never going to win again. Sorry for being gutted after watching that slip through their fingers.
Class of 2011. Saw my fair share of Penders and Dickey games, and inhaled plenty of Hofheinz asbestos. I will reiterate that I need to see the head coach and team hoisting the national championship trophy to believe it.
You will. This is my 3rd heartbreak in championship games, I got over the other two and in a couple of days I will over this one. This doesn’t even compare to my disappointment when we lost to North Carolina State in 1983. It took a while but I got over that one too.
Coogs could be even better next year. Just inexperienced. Hopefully some secret scrimmages could speed up the process. Not sure if Milos comes back, considering he is rank #40th prospect in the draft.

We will win a NC in football before one in basketball. Idk if people realize how difficult this tournament is.
Basketball just played in the title game and lost by 2. We have a top 3 recruiting class, a HOF coach and packed arena most nights. Will start next season considered a contender. No way FB is closer to a natty.
