Sampson’s decision to run the clock down toward the end of the was strategic, but such does not equate to him wanting Houston to either turn the ball over or miss shots as Houston did. Given your tunnel vision, not surprising you don’t get that concept. How good Houston is will be determined in post-season play. If you and others think Houston is a great team even though they shoot poorly, so be it.

your take is dumb... missing end of shot clock hailmaries is meaningless... yes sampson would have liked to makes those hailmaries , but that wasnt our regular offense, the goal wasnt scoring

not sure how familair you are with football...think of the air raid football (pass almost every down system)..when you are up huge in a football game, you run the ball every play in an attempt to kill clock(even if you are air raid).. if you are an air raid offense you hope those runs are successful but its meaningless to your regular offense. complaining that they couldn't run the ball is meaningless to what makes them successful, they were just killing clock

houston was up 20, waiting till there was 5 seconds on the shot clock and then forcing a shot.. they weren't running the offense

you takes are stupid ..lack any depth or nuance..
you talk about blinders and tunnel vision when that is you.. when everyone seen something but YOU it is you who have te blinders ...
you are always wrong...

but dont worry you take has already been locked in... you said houston has no chance to make the sweet 16 ..we'll see.. ill remind you

It’s understandable that you would try to explain away Houston scoring but 27-points against Texas Tech on 24 percent shooting (10-25 fga’s) in the second half.

Houston only hope or getting to the Sweet 16 is to draw a high seed and hope they draw weaker opponents.

If Houston faces a team in the caliber of a Michigan or Kentucky as they did the last three years Houston went to the NCAA tournament, they will likely lose again because they didn’t dominate the offensive glass as they did in conference play.

And if Houston doesn’t reach the final eight, such will show that there present ranking of 7th best team in the nation was just plain wrong.

Also, do not think this Houston team as good as those teams.

Houston committed six turnovers in 12 minutes playing Texas Tech. It’s not good that Houston’s players when pressured turned the ball over and were not good enough or not prepared sufficiently to avoid turning the ball over at such a high rate.

It also wasn’t good that Houston scored by 6-field goals in the second half. Texas Tech was not solely responsible for that. None of your excuses will explain those bad stats away.

My basic contention is that Houston is not worthy of presently being ranked 7th in the nation as it shoots poorly, and there are a plethora of teams in the nation that shoot far better than the 43.3 percent on two’s and 43.3 percent on three’s as Houston does. Those are pathetic percentages. Comparing Houston’s high rank to those percentages would lead one to think that the state of college bb is in dire straights. It’s not. Watching far better teams play on tv should make that readily apparent.
