That's what I'm saying! Houston is a fake final 4 team. Don't know why people were nervous to play trash.

Y'all Houston is not made for quick comebacks. If we can keep this lead for 10 more min it's over

One time not looking forward to the half. Just want to keep the momentum going!

No such thing as a jinx...whatever fans say have zero correlation to the way the players are playing in the game.

What on earth did Mitchell do for that 2nd foul exactly?

Nevermind they changed it to Butler

At the beginning, I said I hope we are up by 20 at halftime.

Baylor is up by 25.

WOW!

Mitchell step back 3 to close the half... cold as ice.

So that was a record defensive half for us? Did he say that the old record was 21?

Welp this game is a wrap. Like I said Houston bunch of Sesame Street Oscar the grouches living...trash can of a team. They should have just forfeit before game time and not wasted our time.

Finally hitting on all cylinders, there is no team in the country that can beat us when we play like this - this is the pre-Covid team dominating in every phase of the game!
