"The cry" comment seems unwise

i dont get giving houston clipboard material...for a game memphis needs to win, and houston was going to be favored in....
houston will come in wanting to obliterate memphis now

I don't think all that matters. A blowout was going to happen at Houston anyway, especially with Lomax likely out.

That is the real reason Penny and most Memphis fans are upset. We lost our chance to beat you at home, where we and practically everybody else (especially Houston) play so much better.

The kink in the rules is that technically speaking, the ability to be the home team for what was originally a road game only applies to postponed games, not regularly scheduled games, so not sure how Sampson got that done, which I think is more upsetting to Penny and Memphis fans than missing one of the games.

your misinterpreting the rule...houston already used the rule earlier this year for a Cincy game, that was originally scheduled for @cincy.... it wasnt a postponed game, we switched the original game date from @cincy

penny is just upset because he want houston at memphis....nothing more to it...

and getting killed at home is not what you want to end the season... almost everyone would have projected a 8-10 point win, with a real shot a loss.. we tendency to loss in "must win" games for other teams, while we are a on long win streak and have complacency.. our last home loss was to UCF who needed a desperate end of the season win, where not many gave ucf a chance.. UCF won and got a 10 seed ..

NET drops badly regardless of location or opponent if its a bad blowout.. WKU learned that last week

there is a reason we havent lost back to back games in 5 seasons at UH, that is because UH wins on effort (outrebounding, out hustling).. something that is amplified when we are motivated like after something like a loss ..or someone is trash talking you, saying your crying too much.. Ron Hunter, with Georgia state in the ncaa tourney, once trash talked sampons, wasnt even intentional.... kept calling Sampson old and grandpa.. we won by 30 and players took a couple verbal shots at hunter (Hunter noted in his hiring press conference that he see UH as his rival because of that lol)
