In a love-hate relationship with the Houston Cougars, the Big 12, college sports in general, and the human race.
The 8 steals by Kingston Flemings tonight puts him in an 8-way tie for 2nd-most steals in a game in UH history. It's the most by a UH freshman against a D1 opponent.

Losing 2nd chance points and points off TOs but winning points in the paint and out-shooting the other team. You know, exactly how we're all used to seeing UH win.
FINAL: Houston 82, Florida State 67.

Coogs won with offense:

Sharp: 27 pts (10/17 fgs - 6/12 3s)
Flemings: 21 pts (8/13 fgs - 3/4 3s)
Cenac: 15 (7/11 fgs) and 10 rebs.

FGs in the game
UH: 32/65 - 11/29 3s (missed last 4 in final 71 secs).
FSU: 22/57 fgs - 10/32 3s

FSU: 18-7 2nd chance pts.

A 10-0 run in 60 seconds in insane

Profoundly weird (derogatory) behavior from more than one person commenting "don't care" or "not watching". Wonder if they walk down the street, poking their heads into random businesses and saying "not buying anything here, just fyi"

It's done. Finally.

▪️ Are any top seeds in trouble?
▪️ Is there a Group of Death?
▪️ Which minnow is best placed to spring a surprise?
▪️ Which group are you most looking forward to?

RIP SMU
The right's now hegemonic argument that cocaine is actually a chemical weapon and that mere suspicion of having it on your boat justifies an order to kill everyone aboard is astoundingly insane

Besides fighting the left, I’m pretty sure the only other function of the Democratic Party is to sloganeer neoliberal austerity for an audience of party hacks.

Picked Houston to go 8-4 this year and thought I was being real optimistic. What a season from this team. Willie Fritz showing incredible proof of concept.

Huge huge huge catch by Amare on 4th down, what a year that dude is having

That is two just blindingly obvious, impossible-to-miss pass interference calls on Baylor today that were missed. Both massive momentum-swingers.

it’s vitally important for the future of this country that this wildly unpopular administration is tied directly to its enablers in congress and the courts and used to discredit the entire conservative movement

Another missed opportunity for Houston to pick up a bad early loss
Realizing the UH special sauce is having a bad result(s) before January
20-21: lost to Tulsa in December, made final 4
21-22: needed OT vs Hofstra, made elite 8
22-23: impressive Nov/Dec, lost Sweet 16
23-24: ditto
24-25: lost first 3 games vs real teams, played for a natty

Shoulda lost to Syracuse

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.

We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

Last year's team lost its first 3 games against real teams and played for a natty. This year's team went 2-1. It's gonna be a fun season.
