No cheerleaders yet? UCD missed 14 free throws, if they made half of that the game wouldn’t have even been close and UH was FAVORED. Bad coaching evident. Every time UCD called a possession time out their coach called a play and they usually scored. Ganot calls a possession time out and UH flubs the ball sometimes not even getting a shot off. And don’t be fooled UCD isn’t a good team, its ranked 240 on some indexes. UH has yet to win a game against a team ranked higher than 200, which is bad.
It takes time to put away the Gibb Arnold’s pom poms.
UH missed almost all inside point blank shots. They make half of those and they win the game. Actually, anything after your beloved conman Fib is a win.
