First place is fun. Might as well keep winning and finish this thing out.
First Place
- Thread starter CycloneErik
- Start date
Why don't we just simply be in first place the whole time?
The team is really dialed in on defense. They really do have all the pieces necessary to make a run. Guards that can create their own shot and pass. Really good depth inside. A post up threat in King. They don’t rebound well and the guards can be a little streaky, but for them to lose, they need to have multiple guys off and let it come down to free throws. They’re just really tough and will be a tough out for anyone
I guess my only concern would be foul trouble, injuries and teams that can play 5 out and hit 3’s.

Wait, I thought fun wasn't allowed?
And of those, I'd say the biggest concern would be the elite 3pt teams. Injuries would suck, but our depth is so damn good that any one injury would not be a death sentence. Same thing for fouls.
Watson and Pav would play a lot of minutes for many other teams.
For one depraved night only, I'll allow the fun, even though fun sucks.
Imagine a team with only a few days to plan against our defense. They won’t know what’s coming for them
Would be better if Houston was at Hilton and we had already won at their place.
Monday night at Houston is a huge game for both programs. I'm sure we will be road dogs but anything can happen with this team. Man if we did pull out a W we would be in great shape coming down the home stretch. I have a ton of respect for Kelvin Sampson but I'd rather not see a newbie win the regular season.
I ruled it out weeks ago, but I won't rule it out now.
To me TT will be a big game. If we can hold home court against them and BYU. Then a single loss to Houston wouldn’t hurt as much. Although I may need to cheer for Kansas in the last game against them (I just threw up in a mouth a bit typing that) I see.
Agreed. I also think the only game that matters is the next game. Once a team starts to look ahead in this conference, they'll be looking up in the standings. Can't take any teams for granted, even when WVU comes to Hilton. One game at a time...
