Houston (AAC Tourney Championship)

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

I’d agree. Given how many transfers are expected to be available you’d think you’d want to get in early

 

[cincyguy13]

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.

I’d be fine with either. I just don’t think it’s above us. Do what’s best for your program. If young guys need reps, and want to play, get them reps. Huggins did it 2 years ago and is a 4 seed this year, you don’t worry about perception. But if not, you get to start recruiting earlier. Either way is fine with me

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

After we missed out last shot with 25 seconds left he walked over and shook the coaches and players hands and stood off screen for the last 10-15 seconds on houstons side of the court.


it was weird to see.

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.

There was a guy on the 247 message board a while later claiming to have talked to Davenport's brother and lending support to the possibility of Davenport leaving. It may all be made up, but multiple sources saying there is smoke.

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.

I’ll admit that’s pretty weird to leave the team with time on the clock.


People saying on twitter he was made at Houston for running it up, but i mean, what the hell is Houston supposed to do when their whole team is on fire.

Since the Bite incident Houston has beaten us by a combined 88 points in 3 games. Yikes.

Yeah, the more reps the better imo. If the CBI invites us, I say accept. Obviously dependent on the players being willing to play. They may be ready to get out of isolation.

It was a bit weird, especially with so much time left. He was shaking hands on the Houston side with 25-30 seconds left. I've seen coaches starting doing that 5-10 seconds before the game end, but generally not earlier.

I don't really blame Houston for running it up. They put their scrubs in and kept playing the game. Are they supposed to just stand with the ball and take a turnover by letting the shot clock run out?

Scrubs wanna shoot their shot too. If they get on the floor they wanna play, it was our shitty team that couldn’t stop the scrubs.

Like I said, people will see what they want to see. They will ignore pictures of him talking to Davenport on the bench and focus on him leaving 10 seconds early. It’s weird but we don’t know the story. Yesterday this was the closest team ever, now today, the coach doesn’t care about them at all. People overreact to everything

I think Houston ran up the score. The game was clearly over the whole second half but I don’t blame them. We have beat them down for 30 years, finally pay back time. Have to be able to take it and get better. It looked a lot worse because they couldn’t miss

WSU made it? 2 bid league

People are saying he was mad at Sampson. To me it seemed more like he was congratulating the coaches and players and telling them good luck in the NCAA. Maybe he figured once the game was over they'd be busy celebrating.

I think he just started congratulating too early. I don’t think he was walking out on his team. Like I said, yesterday the team is so close, today, the coach doesn’t care about them at all. Seems like a reach to me but people will do what they do

Wright State lost a game where they were up 24 with 6:26 left. It's not over until it's over. I'd rather UC run up the score than lose a "clearly over" game because they let their foot off the gas. So I am fine with other teams not letting up against us.

I am sure there was a bit of payback going on to. But mostly even their scrubs were hitting tough shots.

Agree, I said I didn’t have a problem with it. But I’d also probably be mad if I lost by 40 also. Both can be true.

We will find out over the coming month or two how close they are. I hope everyone stays, only player I am ready to see go is Vogt. I am definitely concerned about guys transferring out (Eason, Davenport and Gabe), but maybe I'm being a pessimist.

Gabe isn’t even here. So I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t come back. I’d like to have him but won’t lose sleep over it. Davenport I would be surprised if he left. I’d guess Eason is 60-40 he comes back. I think Eason would benefit from staying in a system he kinda knows as opposed to learning a new one. He seems think have to think out there. He needs to get comfortable. I don’t have any information. All these guys could leave for all I know

If only van exel coulda got the chance... national title guaranteed

Lol, I'm pretty sure Van exel would of transitioned and kept the culture alive it just would of had to be shown with results on the court. At least we didn't finish with a losing record this yr. Could have really eeked out some 1, 3 point wins against program's we typically handle. The league was putrid this yr as well. Me personally I dont believe with what we have returning we will be any better than this yr but one could hope

I doubt we come back with the exact same roster. Players will be signed. I guarantee it
