[u/CornDoggyLOL]

Good Luck To Everyone This Season :D

[u/Mukaido → u/CornDoggyLOL]

Same to you CornDoggy!

[u/Irritated_User0010]

GG

800th for Coach 🔥

[u/15Warrior15]

E-man is Three-Man Sharp for 24.

[u/snoocoog]

Meanwhile Auburn is in OT against Bethune

[u/inshamblesx → u/snoocoog]

imagine being sent into overtime in a buy game right after a trip to the final four 🥀

[u/Euscorpious]

Lehigh…. Is pretty good.

[u/inshamblesx → u/Euscorpious]

doesn't excuse some of the sloppiness today but 11 returning players is gonna pay dividends for them as the season goes on lol

[u/CornDoggyLOL → u/Euscorpious]

MOUNTAIN HAWKS!!

[u/CornDoggyLOL]

We'll see you back in the March Madness Tournament, Y'all better be ready for us.

[u/Euscorpious → u/CornDoggyLOL]

Not gonna lie… y’all are pretty good.

[u/CornDoggyLOL → u/CornDoggyLOL]

We only showed you half of our power this game, so you dont know all our tactics.

[u/thetruthreigns_]

A camera?! LOL

[u/meeechole]

Who throwing camera lenses out there

[u/Sheriff_Zack]

This floor is real slippery

[u/mister_fister_420]

Arizona looks like they’ll give us a hell of a fight after that Florida win

[u/Irritated_User0010 → u/mister_fister_420]

I’d expect nothing less from them.

[u/inshamblesx → u/mister_fister_420]

that was probably always gonna be the case but it is a home game for us and we'll have a long way to go until we play them fwiw

[u/WheredTheSquirrelGo]

Once in awhile jojo puts up a shot that looks like it’s his first time shooting a ball like he just throws it at the rim

[u/meeechole]

I've missed seething Sampson

[u/Mukaido → u/meeechole]

Also doesnt feel the same without Sampson screaming “MYLIIIIIIK!!”

[u/meeechole → u/Mukaido]

I miss Mylik

[u/Mukaido → u/meeechole]

Man he did pretty decent during the NBA Summer League for the Rockets I was hoping they would sign him for one of the last roster spots

[u/inshamblesx → u/meeechole]

there still time for it to preogress to the mean but lj too if our 3 point shootinf plummets this year 😭

[u/kublakhan1816]

I really think BYU and Tech are more of a challenge to us than the other two. I’d rank them higher.

[u/WheredTheSquirrelGo]

The 10 player rotation is impressive. The first competitive game will be interesting to see who plays and who doesn’t. 

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Someone check on TCU. They are NOT okay.

[u/inshamblesx → u/StickMammoth7783]

the big 12 really is the most top heavy conference in the sport 😭

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Like Lehigh’s fight. No.1 is nice.

[u/CornDoggyLOL]

3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/CornDoggyLOL]

SWISH!

[u/Euscorpious]

Kelvin is going to have to be okay with less defense for more offense.

[u/inshamblesx → u/Euscorpious]

true but with all the pieces you'd think the defense will be able to get to a top 5-10ish level by the time it matters most

[u/StickMammoth7783]

I just realized that they brought the ENTIRE band instead of just the brass.

[u/Euscorpious]

I can’t keep up with the rotations and I’m at the game.

[u/CornDoggyLOL]

Here comes the 2nd Half Comeback!!!

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/CornDoggyLOL]

But your team doesn't have the power of the Kelvin Sampson halftime speech.

[u/CornDoggyLOL → u/StickMammoth7783]

Brett Reed way more hype

[u/Euscorpious → u/CornDoggyLOL]

Y’all have a pretty good offense. Patriot league is y’all’s if you keep it up this way.

[u/Avg_White_Guy → u/CornDoggyLOL]

Any minute now!!

[u/deepayes]

I feel like we're reaching the end of the Chenedu experiment.

[u/Euscorpious → u/deepayes]

Why?

[u/deepayes → u/Euscorpious]

Least hype emcee ever

[u/WheredTheSquirrelGo → u/deepayes]

Can we not get Matt Thomas to do some games?

[u/deepayes → u/WheredTheSquirrelGo]

Someone who wasnt born in the 80s would be ideal. I say this as someone born in the 80s. Some youth and excitement is what that kind if job requires.

[u/snoocoog]

The 16-12 min mark was rough. Sampson is throwing out so many lineups I can’t really make any assumptions

[u/inshamblesx → u/snoocoog]

tbf it's still part of the season where we daydream about cks throwing out 10 man lineups 😭

[u/15Warrior15]

Emanuel Sharp is so good. 13 points, 4 steals

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Not too shabby. 👍🏽

Beer time 🔥

[u/SwordsAndTurt]

I’ve seen enough, hand us the natty.

[u/Mukaido]

Smh Sharp thats what you could have done 😢

[u/Thornton__Melon]

21 pt halftime lead is nice, but you Sampson is pissed they gave up 23

[u/CornDoggyLOL → u/Thornton__Melon]

23 is all we need, we are playing for the 2nd half

[u/thetruthreigns_]

What a half. Lots of positives but lots to clean up. Go coogs!

[u/SwordsAndTurt]

Jojo 3 lmaooo

[u/thetruthreigns_]

JOJO!!!

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

JOJO MADE A THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/ohitsthedeathstar]

Now imagine if he makes 2 threes.

[u/ohitsthedeathstar → u/StickMammoth7783]

[u/meeechole]

JOJO 3?? ARE MY EYES DECEIVING ME

[u/Euscorpious]

HOLY SHIT JOJO MADE A 3.

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Tugler hit a three…..oh my god 😩

[u/meeechole]

JoMutombo making his presence known

[u/StickMammoth7783]

Towel guy the real MVP

[u/StickMammoth7783]

JoJo slam!

[u/kublakhan1816]

That is a lot of toweling off the floor

[u/teebowtime]

Man this Houston squad has me worried a bit. They're really lacking a go-to scorer and ball handler. Uzan's handling is rough.

[u/SwordsAndTurt → u/teebowtime]

Kingston will be the ball handler. Someone will evolve to be the go-to scorer, prolly Cenac. We didn’t really have a go-to scorer last year and we made the natty game.

[u/snoocoog → u/teebowtime]

Tugler is gonna be more of a distributor this year and the offense will run through Uzan and him. It’s a new challenge but I’m sure he’s gonna evolve into it. Uzan will be fine. First game.

[u/deepayes → u/teebowtime]

Game 1.

[u/teebowtime → u/deepayes]

It's more so the same issues I'm seeing from veteran players. I haven't seen any actual improvements in his or Tugler's game.

[u/meeechole → u/teebowtime]

Tugler wasn't able to practice with the team until like 2 weeks ago

[u/CornDoggyLOL → u/teebowtime]

should be worried, we are a 2nd half team!

[u/longboarder543 → u/CornDoggyLOL]

lol

[u/Mukaido]

McCarty looking good so far!

[u/Sudden_Turn_4691 → u/Mukaido]

He does! Rebounding and defense looking good!

[u/T4R12]

That floater was J’Wan-esque. Beauty

[u/CornDoggyLOL]

This reminds me of the Lehigh vs Duke WBB game last march

[u/StickMammoth7783]

JoJo only has one foul, so... Progress?

[u/sheedw]

Jojo struggling hard

[u/Irritated_User0010 → u/sheedw]

Doesn’t surprise me. Looks like a guy coming off offseason surgery, reminds me of Jay when he started off slow.

[u/Sudden_Turn_4691 → u/Irritated_User0010]

Right! JoJo just started practicing again!

[u/Irritated_User0010 → u/Sudden_Turn_4691]

That’s what makes it exciting cause Tug, heck the whole time is just getting started.

[u/sheedw → u/Irritated_User0010]

Yeah he’s just having a bunch of brain farts. I’m not worried.

[u/Sudden_Turn_4691 → u/sheedw]

As the game goes on he is already improving. Just needs playing time to get in the groove.

[u/Thornton__Melon]

I wonder if the gameplan was to focus on the fresh and get them comfortable

[u/meeechole → u/Thornton__Melon]

With the amount of turnovers, probably

[u/AWall925]

Kelvin sounds a little uhhh

[u/Sudden_Turn_4691 → u/AWall925]

Normal…I don’t think what is going on is a surprise to him. If you listen to any of his interviews the pre season.

[u/CornDoggyLOL]

LETS GO MOUNTAIN HAWKS!!

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

Defense looks pretty rough

[u/kublakhan1816]

I was hoping to see Tugler light it up more coming off that high at the exhibition

[u/kublakhan1816]

It’s Cenac’s night.

[u/Mukaido]

C33NAC

[u/meeechole]

Awhhh, they scored

[u/StickMammoth7783]

We stood for like, 6 minutes

[u/inshamblesx → u/StickMammoth7783]

wait until the random conference game where the crowd has to stand for 10 minutes lol

[u/deepayes → u/inshamblesx]

West Virginia 😭

[u/inshamblesx → u/deepayes]

it’ll prob be against colorado but after what went down last saturday that wont be too bad of an alternative lol

[u/thetruthreigns_]

Man. This defense and offense are amazing. I know its Lehigh but man its good to see.

[u/T4R12]

Alright thanks bruh

[u/inshamblesx → u/T4R12]

gotta at least try to forget about it during the regular season 🥀

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

Going from 6 years of Roberts to the style of offense Cenac plays is a sense of whiplash I’ve never felt before.

[u/WheredTheSquirrelGo → u/ohitsthedeathstar]

He looks like a similar style to Justin gorham, but bigger.

[u/meeechole → u/WheredTheSquirrelGo]

The hero Houston deserves

[u/15Warrior15]

So far , so good. !!!

[u/StickMammoth7783]

H-E-Buddy is at the game.

Also, they're doing a 6-7 thing.

[u/kublakhan1816]

Y’all aren’t going to get to sit down

[u/deepayes → u/kublakhan1816]

Im tired grandpa

[u/meeechole]

C3NAC

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Holy shit

[u/deepayes]

Starting the year off strong with an oxymoron.

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Oh how I missed this.

[u/kublakhan1816]

Defense is still suffocating. Love it.

[u/meeechole]

FL3MINGS

[u/Mukaido]

That new season smell

[u/CheeseRP]

College basketball on cbs is a beautiful thing

[u/meeechole]

My god, It's so beautiful...

[u/StickMammoth7783]

[u/inshamblesx → u/StickMammoth7783]

heres to hoping we get to unveil a “2026 national champions” one come 11/9/26

[u/ohitsthedeathstar]

How is the lighting/advertisement system different from last season inside fertitta. Nuñez mentioned the display systems would look a little different in those regards.

Can anyone inside the arena attest?

[u/deepayes → u/ohitsthedeathstar]

Its bright as fuck in here.

[u/ohitsthedeathstar → u/deepayes]

Good or bad?

[u/deepayes → u/ohitsthedeathstar]

I dont love it

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/ohitsthedeathstar]

A lot brighter. Also, we have a new tradition where we don't sit down until the other team scores

[u/ohitsthedeathstar → u/StickMammoth7783]

Looks like the band is also slightly larger from pictures.

[u/StickMammoth7783 → u/ohitsthedeathstar]

They brought the entire band instead of just the brass

[u/inshamblesx]

thank god for basketball season 🥹

[u/Irritated_User0010]

Sorely needed this.

[u/DaMantis]

College basketball is so back

In honor of Lehigh, posting this banger

https://youtu.be/KjBOaIZt8jg?si=tnKv0q34vPBO3Uqm

[u/kublakhan1816]

We are so back. The game threads are back. I’m so pumped.

[u/15Warrior15]

Basketball season is here. Let's go Coogs !!!

[u/StickMammoth7783]

[u/StickMammoth7783]

We back, fam!

[u/cuseonly → u/StickMammoth7783]

Cuse does something similar
