Maybe delayed?

Hmmm ...

Looks like maybe this will end up being the game thread. Hopefully the Bears come out playing like they have nothing to lose. House money game tonight. A win while unexpected would almost certainly lock up and ncaa bid

"Serious hand issue" is miraculously better

Houston's Emanuel Sharp (ankle) and LJ Cryer (knuckle) will both be available for tonight's game against Baylor, per Kelvin Sampson.

Sharp has missed the last two games.

Averages 12.5 PPG.

Cryer averages 14.3 PPG.

I just want a win that shows we are no-doubt worth a shot at the second weekend.

No loss for me on this one tonight. Low stress.

First game out probably playing a completely different game against the best team in the Big 12 and a true Top 10 team? I have no expectations to win. If we do, that would be incredible. If not, it doesn't matter if we get blown out or lose by single digits because this was a likely loss anyway. This is basically a dress rehearsal game that gets us adaptive to a new style and ready for WVU at home Saturday, a game we really need to win.

So as Iowa said this is kinda house money tonight.

Win anyway, Bears!

Oh definitely! That would be the best outcome!

Note on the scroll now says Baylor - UH will start at ESPN and shift to ESPNU at the tip of the Lakers game.

We get knocked off Big Monday by Luka, although most of the game should be over by then.

lwtt.

- kkm

go bears!

{ sipping coffee }

BS foul call.

Omier with his first foul, a careless reach, with 17:08 in the 1st Half. Can't do that big guy.

Houston looks like a bunch of 30 year old men.

He just can't help himself

Love our aggressiveness at taking it to the basket so far.

3 turnovers for VJ

We've been lackadaisical handling the basketball all year. Tennessee made us pay for it. UH is doing the same tonight. Good Ds.

Omier with a breather at 12:48.

We're going with Roach, VJ, Nunn, Love, Celestine.

Hanging tough so far

roach lookin solid today!

Roach

We're getting eaten up on the defensive end. That's where Josh O's absence is really felt.

Every time Omier leaves the floor, we're a mismatch waiting to happen.

Defense is terrible with these lineups. Offense looks fine. Rebounding without Josh is interesting.

If we're going small, we gotta run.

Love has looked confused on the defensive end the last 3 trips down the floor.

He's always confused defensively. He's LJ Cryer bad on defense

Am I misremembering but wasnt cryer a walking turnover here? Now he is actually playing injured while he sat out any time here

We need to go back to that

Omier was out for roughly 2 minutes and we only got outscored 5-3 during that time.

(I'm looking for positives)

Yup… get old stay old

I don't understand why at times we look so low energy.

Wright needs to assert himself.

This team is unguardable. Will be fine

Edgecombe looks totally listless and disengaged.

Love may not be able to play a lick of D but he can dang sure light it up on the offensive end.
