Everyone is tied at 0-0. What is your point?

Overall season records.

There is no point in comparing records as strength of schedule is wildly different from one team to another. South Florida has a better record than many in the conference thanks to a very weak SOS.

Just wanted to post the link to keep everyone updated. And I will keep this link up during the entire season for those that are interested.

Houston is one of only 9 undefeated D-1 college basketball teams

..... in so many ways: Great coach, stud recruits and roster, new arena.....

When you think about how many AAC schools have proud basketball histories, Houston is certainly one of them, along with UConn, Cincinnati, Memphis, Temple, Tulsa, Wichita State and SMU have all had success over the years.

They are where we were in the 2015 season. Sampson has built their roster the same way LB did. Sampson is a helluva coach, and has done an unbelievable job at Houston.

I would advise the Houston admin not to take the gamday presentation for granted, do not do a quick season ticket holder re-seat, do not let the coach responsible for the turnaround walk away and do not bring in a coach who recruits at a Sun Belt level and completely avoids social media and promoting the program.
