Looks like we've officially packed it in at this point. Sadly, turning out about like I expected.

This is getting out of reach.

Nunn is a career 40%+ 3pt shooter shooting well below that. He has made some clutch plays for us in his time. He isn't going to take a game over by himself but that isn't his role. Yes due to his career shooting % we expect a little more from him.
Go back and check his career 3 point percentage in the Big 12 and against P4 teams vs. his career 3 point percentage vs mid majors. There is literally a 20% difference.

Injuries happen every year. Part of the game unfortunately. Roach went down and Wright stepped up and became a better floor general (not counting tonight). Love came back and looked really good, if anything he looks rustier this game

He's a career bum against power conference teams, always has been and will continue to be. Thinking he's going to suddenly play well when he never has is insanity

How's your football squad looking? Another 4 win season on tab?

How do we miss on so many players. Do they look so much better before they land in Waco?

I'm questioning how we win a single game. You can't win with five guards on the court. That's what any competent coach will push us to.
We just beat UCF by almost 20 with this same roster. We'll overwhelm several of the bad teams remaining on our schedule. Houston is just really good.



Colorado and ok state are maybe the only two teams we have a chance of out talenting

Am I missing something or is Celestine half asleep out there this entire game?
IowaBear

Hopefully we don't spend all our NiL on 2 transfers. Roster balance is needed badly. Roach cost over a mill and has played to a value of about 50k. Don't know what Celestine cost but I doubt he's earned his pay

16 more shots, that's the game. Two most talented players on the court and this is all you can do. Turnovers were ridiculous

Nope. Not with Weigman under center and almost our entire defense returning.


This isn't a football thread nor is it football season.

I think drew is playing home run derby at this point, it's a problem.

The only teams we won't be more talented than the rest of the way is Arizona and Houston. That doesn't mean we'll win all of the other games. But we'll look a lot better offensively in those games than we do tonight.

One team, 16 assists and 5 TOs

The other 7 assists and 15 TOs. Some of the TOs certainly due to UH D, but a lot due to careless, lackadaisical passes and dribbling.

Alright will keep it basketball related… when your Cougars win a natty will talk.

Some. Some the staff probably thinks they can coach up. Maybe some said no so we kept going down our list until someone said yes. Omier was a great pickup.

Houston has a lot more shots than us

Too many turnovers and giving up too many offensive rebounds.

Talent level doesn't matter much when you have 1 forward on the roster. We don't have enough talent in the right places.

Raises a lot of questions about adaptability as the landscape changes.

What exactly are you expecting Bu to do? This was a blowout waiting to happen. We have no size, we play zero defense, there's no bench, we're getting absolutely demolished on the boards. I have no idea why some posters still 25 games in think this team is even remotely good.

Some of the other perennial powers are asking similar. Welcome to modern day "college" sports. Pick 'em smart, because you have about 3 months and a season with em. Rinse. Lather. Repeat.

We got full value on Omier IMHO. Roach is the killer. We paid him to be a game changer and he's had good numbers but nowhere near what we needed. Hindsight says we could have gotten a PG who could have produced similar numbers to Roach as well as picking up a front court guy that was serviceable for as much as we paid singularly for Roach.

I truly believe Drew will figure it out with the help of a good GM.

We have handled their traps pretty well but sloppy elsewhere

It still matters, which is why our limited squad this season has only lost one game all year that it should have won.

As frustrating as our team is, we still have guys who can do things that players on less talented teams can't do.

Roach has lived up to his Duke stats. 10-15ppg. 2-4 assists a game. Gets caught ball watching more than hoped for

I almost hate to say it but hats off to Kelvin. Everyone said UH wouldn't be able to do the same thing in the Big 12 they did in the AAC, but I'll be damned if they haven't done it the first two years.

Yeah. I don't want to call him a bust because he hasn't been a bust relative to what he's always produced. He is doing basically what he's always done. The bust is that we basically paid him as if he were going to become an overnight gamechanger and he was never going to be that.

So excited for Scott to keep blaming this on the injury bug that seems to be a unique problem to us and not his pitiful roster building and coaching

Get old, stay old. It works contrary to this boards believe that doing so is impossible in the NIL era
