Did the stat that cbs showed say the lowest scoring half in tourney history was 21? That's hard to believe

That was Houston's lowest scoring half in the Tourney I believe, 1987 v Kansas.

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!


Peaking at the absolutely perfect time

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

Baylor is up by 25.

WOW!


That's exactly what I told my wife!

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



Yep.

Great first half but we do have a second half to play and finish out. Let's bust this game open to get some extra rest and a special moment for the bench players to get FF time.
