baylor is gonna have their worst seeding in the dance since 2019 but seeing the rest of their schedule, they should still make it with room to spare

cinci on the other hand will probably go into fertitta center knowing that game is gonna be their last chance to make a big push for an at-large assuming they can’t upset iowa state this weekend

I’m so glad you were keeping a close watch on the Francis foul trouble. Thank you for doing so, I was sweating bullets as the game ended and he only had 3 left before potentially fouling out! Whew, that was tenuous.

I was personally worried about our 12 for 16, 75% FT% myself. Dang, poor Baylor they were exactly as horrible as we were tonight. So they too must “suck at free throws”. Nothing like having to sweat that out again. :wink:

Is 95% from the line the highest in D1 basketball?

I’m not sure, but it’s gotta be close to best if not highest. Damn good regardless.

Before Sampson the most consecutive 20 win seasons we’d had was 4 (done twice by Guy V.). The job Coach has done here is unreal.

We had the game won, he just let them cut into the final score.

I was surprised that our bigs shot better FTs than all guards, that got to the line, but Wilson. Tugler didn’t get to the line, but both Roberts and Francis were 2 for 2 (as was Wilson).

It’s remarkable how he’s turned that part of his game around. His shot used to look like it had no chance of going in, and now he looks like a guy who could shoot 80%.

It’s such a luxury to have a big dude like that who isn’t a liability if the other team starts fouling late in a gane.

Sooo
 what is CF b*****n about this game tonight? lol

Well, it was hot in FC.

And they still haven’t figured out how to fix the resolution on the light show, so the lines look like an acid trip out there.

Oh, and the crowd sucked because our coaches pumped them up.

Grumble free throws grumble

“vast majority of them should return to college basketball if they eligibility, whether they be true college stars
 upperclassmen with clear attributes that could ultimately translate to the NBA like Houston’s Terrance Arcenaux.”

Hope TA back at UH but somewhere as featured scorer might be CBB next stop.
Memphis ?
