The ESPN color analyst on the UNC/Oklahoma game just said “there’s a little mouse in the house action.” She said it when a UNC player made a move in the post.

WTH?

It usually means a big guy got matched up with a smaller defender in the post.

When a shorter player gets caught guarding a much taller player in the painted area near the basket, the taller player will yell, “mouse in the house” to his teammate, signifying, they want the ball now!Apr 19, 2020

Hmmm…I’ve played/watched basketball for 40 years and I’ve never heard that.

Back in my day, we would just yell, “throw me the damn ball!”

I can promise you it’s not a new term lol I feel like a lot of 90s-00s era NBA guys say it (like the nba on tnt crew)

Typically it's the opposite but yeah.

Smaller player on offense doing work in the paint or getting caught up amongst the trees down low.

Mouse in the house is a SUPER common basketball phrase. Shocked that many here have never heard it.

You ain’t into hoop for real if you’ve never heard it before.

Sounds like they got a little too close posting up.

The early bird gets the worm, but the 2nd mouse gets the cheese.

"She" tells you everything you need to know.

WTH?

It's said in most basketball circles and during a lot of games. Mouse(guard) in the house (paint) against a center/forward. It's like when Shaq says, BBQ Chicken when a guard gets switched off on a big man.

Guys like you yelling I am open.

Yeah, that's what they want. You shooting.



No offense....
