Houston (AAC Tourney Championship)

What’s your point though

That Houston is good. And they play a brand of basketball that will always be a tough draw for Brannon ball

Hopefully we get a CBI bid. If not the season is over and now we wait to see what happens. This tweet from Tari's mom does not inspire a lot of confidence that he will be back. https://twitter.com/tallwonder/status/1371209839741837312

The transfer portal will be the thing to watch. Hopefully just for guys coming in, but quite possibly also for guys leaving.

I don’t get the point. He’s 7 years in and a good coach. He has his thing rolling but let’s not act like he’s winning everything in sight. He has 1 conference tournament win. He’s had the best team in the league for 3 years, and hasn’t done much with it. They are a good team. Not sure why we need to freak out about it

Agreed. I’m more concerned penny will figure coaching out with the talent he can get.

Or justin is right and all other aac teams should just stop playing basketball because Houston will win the league forever. Or until Sampson’s next infraction.

They are definitely good. We haven’t really seen brannen ball with a full squad. I know we can’t wait to declare recruits, systems or coaches bust but we played with mostly freshmen and sophomores against a loaded team with upper class men. You could be right but we really can’t tell yet

She did stuff like that a couple weeks ago and talked about how great everything was leading up till today. Everyone freaks out when you lose. Parents no different.

Who cares, if him and his mother want to transfer it is what it is. I would imagine there are plenty of high school stars in his same situation thinking they are better than they are.

Cincinnati will play basketball next year regardless. No sense in worry over it.

I’m willing to bet it’s doesn’t matter who they lose.

Last year, they were expected to return Nate Hinton and Caleb Mills. One went pro and the other left early season.

And yet Houston has finished with a 2 seed, and a top 10 kenpom rank.



People said when they lost Fabian, they’d also struggle. They didn’t. They still are the best offensive rebounding team in the country.


Tramon Mark is the future stud in waiting. Sasser is already a stud. I’d bet Fabian white returns.


But you could tell me Houston loses every body and Ill still pick them to win the league. Because literally every single time they graduate or lose players, people on this board and others say its going to be down year for Houston. BUT. It never happens. They can lose Robinson, Davis & Brooks and still come back strong. They lose fabian, Hinton, & mills and it didn’t matter.


I mean just think how crazy it is is that Houston lost the AAC player of the year and still got a 2 seed.


That’s culture

We used to have culture. Now it has to be rebuilt

Justin is the culture police. Ask him how xavier culture is working for them.

Enough with the freaking transfer crying crap. If the team fell apart the last month, fine, but they didn't. There was nothing about the last month that would lead people to believe anybody is leaving outside of Harvey.

Those guys all fought together and put on a hell of a run at the end. You can only do that if you are all together. Those young guys are going to use today a fuel for the next 2/3 years.

The most impressive thing about Houston is how hard they work. Every single player gives their full effort on almost every play. Even up 30+, they were outworking us. Both this game and last game their scrubs came on and out hustled our starters.

We had about a 4 minute segment (when Brannen subbed in the new 5 in the 2nd half) where we worked harder than Houston, the other 36 minutes Houston beat us up.

Hustle and effort aren't everything, but they will keep games close when other things aren't going your way. Sampson gets it out of his team.

Cincinnati does not accept CBI bids.. usually its super low majors. We should decline it

She always says whatever is on her mind. Any time its negative people run and cry transfer. Those people are clowns. They don't say he's staying when she tweets positive stuff for 3 straight weeks.

Hopefully they all stay. But there have been rumors around Diarra (the obvious one), Eason and Davenport. Maybe it's all smoke, but I wouldn't be all that surprised by a fire.

The Davenport one was clearly made up and off speculation that harvey was his friend. Nobody will care if Diarra leaves, most would welcome it.

Wait. What happened at the end of the game? Did Brannen dip off? I turned it off.

We did with mick. Also Huggins did 2 years ago at West Virginia

If players are going to transfer it’s going to happen relatively soon I would think.

Yes, it didn’t look great at the time. But there are also several pictures of him tail king to his guys on the bench. People see what they want to see. He congratulated Houston. Shook their hands and walked to the locker room with a couple seconds left.

In this situation, where we’ve been established and aren’t completely rebuilding the brand, I’d not accept it.


Just more risk for injury in games that mean nothing.


Just move on, and play next year.
