Houston Cougars

You'd think they'd learn by now that their recipe for success during the grind of the season is also what leads to their early (by their season success) exit.

Suffecating defense and opportunistic offense.

Problem is, come March, when playing teams who also have great defenses, they have to win games 62-60 because their offense becomes pathetic. Same rinse and repeat every single year but they come back the next season believing 'this is the year it will work.'

Granted, Virginia recently winning the tourney will feed into their niavte.

Sad....

They don't have that one guy that the elite teams have that if you need a basket they can get.

Houston's best shot was 2 years ago with they actually had NBA offensive dudes.

Obvious picks are Iowa St., Duke, Michigan St, Auburn. But I think a team like St. Johns could make a run if they figure out their 3-pt shooting situation.

Tenn plays great D, they need to get better offensively though. They just locked down Auburn and held them to 53 points the other night at Auburn. The problem, they only scored 51 and lost.

I am going to make sure I bump your Slut Mary fraud post when they make the fuck you final four. You could have just bet against them but decided to post bulletin board material.

Cougars torched at home today by texas tech.

That defense was exposed today.

I don’t know about torched- they held them to 42% shooting, well below their average, and 31 points in the 2nd half. (Game went into OT) Tech is top 10 in offensive efficiency. Granted not their best game though.
Tennesee just held 2 top 5 teams to 44 and 53 points, but in between those games, got lit up at home by Kentucky. It happens.
