Houston.... is in the Big 12?

[Bluegrass79]

Well i just realized Houston is in the Big 12 this year. Their cakewalks at home end soon. Their schedule is murder from now on.
Lets see how they handle this ..

They about to lose a few
I see 5+ losses imo looking at that schedule

That they are, it’s good because they will earn their seed this year, they started with a 30+ point win in conference. So far so good.

 

[WeWant9]

I didn’t realize they were in the B12 now until recently as well. I keep seeing them and KU projected as one seeds. Kind of doubt we see a conference produce two one seeds this year. I’d much rather see Houston win the B12 than KU.

 

[Bluegrass79]

9-7 conference finish imo. They shoulda never left their comfy league. That schedule is really nasty. Im interested in their performance.

I was thinking they lost a player few weeks ago. One of their guard backups dec 15th. So they thin for the war ahead.

Goodbye message I will see you in March. I love you. Be a good little prediction you hear?
Bye.

Big 12 is gonna be interesting n basketball. Arizona joining next year as well.

For football it's a mixed bag of blah though.

Damn but they lose Texas/Oklahoma

 

[JonathanW]

I think they win the Big12. At least it's not Kansas.

 

[RMorris33]

Houston, BYU, UCF and Cincinnati joined the Big 12 this off season. Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah join next year with Oklahoma and Texas leaving to join the SEC

 

[drew_ukfan]

Big12 isn’t defunct?

[Blueisbest]

You know they'll lose if they have to go to Kansas. 8 vs. 5 is hard to overcome unless you do like Kentucky did a few years ago and just kick ass from the get-go.

 

[mebeblue2]

i am rooting for Houston, KU has had a cakewalk in the conference for decades

 

[Aike]

I think it increases their odds of winning the title. Will be much more battle tested.

 

[ukcatz12]

Houston is a legit team, like they've been every year recently. I'd bet the house they don't lose 5 regular season games.

I'll take that bet. I only have a outhouse though on my end.

Memphis wants in any conference that will take them.

I know a couple takers like that. Handy

They are definitely legit. However, they’re gonna start dropping some games. They’ve played two good teams: TAMU and Utah. That’s it. Beat Utah by 10 and TAMU by 4.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Currently they are projected to go 15-3 in the Big 12.

But honestly even if they dropped 5, that wouldn't make them not legit.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Think they'll adhere to the memo that they are to inexplicably shit their pants any time they play Kansas?

Probably lol. That will probably be two of their 3 losses lol.

 

[$Z71$]

Houston will lose 5-7 games in the big 12. They will probable finish 3rd or 4th in the big 12.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Probably lol. That will probably be two of their 3 losses lol.

I'm glad that there finally seems to be a program/coach who can truly challenge Kansas though. And I'm glad that there's two or three losses coming between them.

 

[Cornett195]

I think they’ll lose 4 at minimum but haven’t looked up their home and away. Big 12 like the SEC is loaded with good-great teams with totally different playing styles. Hard not to rack up losses.

Still some good basketball leagues. Big 12, Big East, and ACC are going to be very good.

But in football, it’s going to be the SEC and Big Ten.

I’ll bet my dog house, let’s do this!

Not with the ref crew Kansas brings every game. You have to beat them down to get a win, home or away in that league.

Probably not. But then that means Houston is taking 2 maybe 3 more losses. Helps us at least.

 

[yoshukai]

IMO , Sampson getting in trouble and Indiana firing him changed their history big time . They had the right coach in place .

 

[KY Long Rifle]

I agree with this completely. I actually think that’s what has held Gonzaga back in the past as well. When you go so long without being challenged, you start to lose your edge.

He's a great coach. They definitely should have kept him around and just rode out the NCAA penalties. I don't remember it well but I'm pretty sure the NCAA rules changed shortly after that and what he did was then allowed.

Yea, seems like it was something minor like phone calls in the dead period.

They should have kept CTC. They didn’t give enough time. He was willing to kiss his own son on the mouth for them, that’s a loyalty rarely found outside of Indiana.

I hope Houston busts their ass.

They gave him a 5 year show cause for that nonsense too. The NCAA is dumb.

Not to mention, Cincinnati and BYU this season. Then you have Arizona and Utah coming next season. Kansas will no longer will the one trick pony of that league.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

I think a lot of people are really undervaluing Houston in this thread. That is all.
