GAME THREAD: MBB vs Houston

[mustangxc]

Finally showing some fight!

I just don’t understand why we start every game so flat footed. After tip you blink and we are down 11 to Houston. This seems to happen nearly every game! What is the explanation for this?

Well, there is the fact that Houston is really good.
But yeah, a faster start would have helped.

Love the spark that Phelps gave us. If Nutall can't hit shots, I'd rather see Phelps & Smith get his minutes. Was hoping Bandoumel would hit his 1st shot...very streaky shooter who tends to disappear once he misses. This is a game where our guys can't be afraid to take open threes. Maybe Todorovic gets some minutes if this game gets really lopsided. We are not going to beat this team in the paint

Who taught Houston to hit 3's

[PonyPride]

Houston guards aren't staying with Davis (10 points), who has faked defenders almost to the point of falling on three drives

Houston gets another 3 — that's 5 of 6 (83.3%) from long range. That has to cool off ... right?

UH 28
SMU 21

Davis scores on another twisting layup.

Davis is so damned good.

As usual, K.D. and Marcus have to be wondering "where's the help?" Really need several more guys to step up. Hopefully Houston cools off. They seem to be knocking down every three they take

[PonyPride]

Cougars still hot — have hit 6 of last eight FGs, including a pair of 3s

Todorovic checks in, Marcus Weathers hits a 3

32-26

Todorovic hits a 3, then picks up first foul
Roberts FT completes 3-point play, makes it 40-29

[mustangxc]

You’ve got to be kidding me! He tries that shot and misses most of the time. This game is over unless we start making 80% of our 3s.

[EastStang]

Gotta give props to UH, they are great. They're hitting shots when well guarded, making passes that are unbelievable.

Todorovic with another 3

"Glass!"

Davis banks in a 3
