2024-2025 College Basketball General Discussion

Did anyone see the Houston and BYU game last night; BIG XII Tournament? Roberts is hurt, so he did not play in the game. Houston decided to play with a four (4) guard lineup. Houston dominated BYU. Houston is pesky, disruptive, and takes a team out of what it wants to do offensively. Houston played a great game without Roberts. Houston really attacks you with its defense. Active hands, playing the passing lanes, and keeping somebody in the middle of the floor, around the free-throw line to get those long rebounds. Have you noticed that Houston seems to always get those long offensive rebounds right around the free-throw line? Houston never takes a defensive possession off. Always on the attack. They like to strip the ball in the paint. They double-team a lot. Houston keeps a team off balance on offense.

UC could learn a lot from watching Houston's videos.

That's a very good point Leeraymond. Sampson modeled his Houston teams after the UC bearthugs that Huggins and Cronin built so Miller would do well to study Houston extensively

Yeah, good for Martin. I am rooting for him. Besides, I live about an hour from the South Carolina State's Orangeburg campus. SCST is 20-12. SCST is an HBCU. It is extremely difficult to win at HBCU's because those guys are basically on the road for November and December. By the way, these schools do not have the chartered jets and travel resources of bigger schools. It is good to see that Martin is doing well in a tough coaching environment.

Not to rain on the parade but they have had some bad losses even a loss to NKU. 2024-25 Men's Basketball Schedule - South Carolina State University Athletics
