New round, new thread

[Guest]

Nova and Duke by double digits. 

[Immaculate Vibes 114]

In the building. Major home crowd for UH. Crowd is dying to really get into it. 

[Bernard 879]

Mom graduated UH. 
Dad graduated Villanova. 
Should be interesting.

Houston has a case of the “Texas Longhorns” in which they are getting decent looks, just nothing is going in.

Can’t finish at the rim and not getting their misses back that they usually do 

[Underdog 28717]

Can a couple of old guard SWC teams breakthrough tonight? 

Go UH! 

[Js1 85426]

A bit of a liberal definition of a “shot”

He was in the air with his hand on the ball when the contact occurred. 50/50.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Problem for any team playing Nova is that you only have 6 fouls to give. After that, it's pretty much 2 points on every foul. Such is what happens when a team is at 85% from the stripe. 

[Underdog 28717]

C’mon, H.  I mortgaged my mobile home on you for this game. 

I liked Nova as a FF team early in the season but then they sorta went bi-polar for a bit in the season.  I’d sacrifice both my ovaries for Wright to UK.

Houston missing way too much close to the basket. I don't think they have enough to beat Nova tonight.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Such an intense game.You never see Gillespie neutered but has been tonight.

 

Difference is Nova plus 8 from the line. They own that aspect.

[Rockethorn1978 6093]

This game has been super zzzz

[Vic Mackey 47088]

Nova better than Houston at everything.

I have a feeling the next game will be the same. 

[Js1 85426]

This is a rock fight.

Not really. Every possession is a war. It's not high scoring but it's intense. Very.

jim gillespie sounds like peter griffin

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Jackson is really good on color.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

holy shit this is good

[Underdog 28717]

Nice run here. 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

wow

[Chad 1728]

Houston is winning this game.

[ConferenceRoom 6144]

Getting spicy.

Probably a women's game on.

[Pancho 44860]

Houston finally found something.  And it’s not like Villanova was shooting lights out either.  When they were up 11, Houston actually had the better shooting percentage. 

The problem for Houston is Villanova FTs are auto-points. 

[Greg Davis Apologist 213]

Jackson is really good on color.

Much better than Raferty

It’s about on the same pace as a womens game.

[dcar00 14277]

is it Calvin Sampson?

[Pam Cummings 9645]

Such a classic Nova team that plays composed and executes when they need to. They've done a good job using Houston's aggressive nature against them.

Yeah, mentioned above that Nova was plus 8 at the stripe at the half. 

UH has a couple of fouls to play with. Best served staying out of the bonus but that clashes with its defensive intensity.

Helluva game.

Yes, very good point.

No. 

[Wally Pryor 5261]

They don't miss at the line.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

No. 

Correct.

[Pancho 44860]

Houston is 1/15 or something sshit like that from 3.

That’s not going to get you to the FF.

[Underdog 28717]

Nova getting a lot of loose balls, extra possessions last few trips. 

[Michael Knight 12988]

Houston can't buy a bucket

[Pancho 44860]

Think that is gonna do it folks.  Villanova to the FF.

So hard to beat. 

15 missed threes ain’t helping UH

[Chad 1728]

Houston killing themselves desperately taking these 3 point shots that aren't falling.

That is what has killed Houston completely, 1 3PM is so unlikely lol

[Wally Pryor 5261]

Fucking Shead.

[Underdog 28717]

No doubt their shot selection has been quite suspect of late, really forcing up some garbage. 

[Rockethorn1978 6093]

Incredible shooting by Houston. Clank, brick, clank brick.

I don't think it's garbage. The defense is this game is dictating so much.  Both teams have been outstanding. 

Still, UH will regret not going inside more.
