It was like playing South Carolina on the road! Just kidding. But it did play out almost exactly the same as that game. Houston is for real. We were just 1 minute better than them.
Agreed. I was surprised they went for the win by trying a 3, but maybe Sampson didn’t like his chances in OT with their foul trouble and fatigue. What a game.
Nah, it was the right call. Houston statistically is a good 3 point shooting team and Florida had the far fresher team with way more bodies if it went to OT. I wish more coaches would go for the win in these situations, gotta have confidence in your players to get it done.
Houston had a great game plan and executed it very well. Too bad they were playing against this Gator team.
They started dribbling too much and were stagnant. The last play we defended them well and smothered them and time ran out - great set by us when it counted the most.
That played out the way I feared it would, except for the comeback and win part. That part made me happy
I was super impressed with Houston. Loved how they competed and you could see the mutual respect between the players. Stark contrast to the likes of Broome and a Pearl coached showboat team
Agreed. Wtf is this thread about? All the teams we beat brought their A game. And please stop with the WE DIDNT PLAY A COMPLETE GAME DOODOO 4 fouls in the first half..total 23 in the second half…total What is going on? Well, the Gators, you know..the one we root for when we aren’t praising Houston..they adapted. They didn’t freaking quit. And they won.
I kep thinking of that Elite 8 game against SC. We exorcised the demons with this win! WHAT A GAME, what a SEASON!!
Houston really dug in. They had us. Great game. Maybe a better played game than we had. This game was going to the wire for either team.
Houston took the gators out of their game. Props to them for almost beating the best team in the land. Was kinda poetic that the Gators won it w defense in the end.
they were the 4th team out of 6 to take us out of game, and yet, we're good enough to beat them at their game
