But.....
Boise St knocked off Creighton and almost beat MSU....
To be fair, they are 5-1, not defending or even saying they will be anything this year, but we've had our share of close games against lesser opponents. And when a team is hot from behind the 3, anyone can hang with anyone.
Come on now. This board, and every MU board, would be apopoliptic if MU lost to Prairie View anywhere (a 3-5 team going into the game, buy the way). That is not embarrassing, that is disgusting.
As good fortune would have it, Houston get's a chance for revenge (or Prairie View get's a chance for a sweep). Why is Houston scheduling Prairie View twice?
Illinois needed a desperation 3 to beat Gardner Webb, so it does happen.
Problem with Houston, included in their five wins are close games over Florida A&M, San Jose State and Texas A&M CC.
To be fairer, they have beaten Bunnytown State, The Little Sisters of the Poor, and Iowa School for the Dead.
No, seriously, they have beaten Florida A&M, Gramling, and Texas A+M Corpus Christi. Oh, and they also beat Louisiana. Not LSU. Louisiana College, the only Baptist four-year college in Louisiana. I am sure it is a great school, but I bet Cardinal Stritch would kick their ass.
This is the problem...you sound like Mike Aresco. Twisting facts, cold hard facts, to try and put polish on a turd. Houston sucks. Houston has sucked for 30 years. Hakeem ain't walking through that door. They have been completely irrelevent for decades, and that won't change. Their old, dungy, dark arena is empty for games. They are not a good addition.
You didn't read the rest of my post. I went on to say the problem with Houston is 3 of their wins were close games over Florida A&M, San Jose State and Texas A&M CC.
One loss, it happens. But after looking at Houston's wins, it almost looked like such a loss was inevitable due struggles with some of the teams they beat.
After landing a couple top 100 guys you would think they would be performing better than they are.
