NCAA MBB Tournament

Please bring the defense with you coach Q...

What a great experience for our future HC White and of course all the Coogs out there.

I can't wait for Louisiana to be included in some of these post season discussions. Regularly I mean.

Houston basketball was like UL before Sampson became coach. An apathetic fan base, no attendance, sound familiar? This article is from the Houston Chronicle. Not sure if the article will open.

THis thing can be re built!

Former Cajun scores in the Final 4 for Houston.

Coogs need to get it together

We did.

What an epic comeback.

Sampson wasn’t the catalyst. Tilman Ferreira and other deep pocket donors were.

In 2016 they built a $25 million, 53,000 sq. ft. practice facility for the basketball team. (Last year they just spent $4 million renovating it.)

The next year they spent $60 million renovating their basketball arena.

And in the age of NIL, they are paying their players as well as anyone else. Next year in addition to NIL the university will be paying a total of $18-20 million dollars to its athletes.

This is why UH basketball became a program that could compete with anyone. It took way, way more than just a coach. Sorry to be so negative, but there’s just no way we can compete in this world.

Too many other schools doing what they did (with lower results) for coaching not to be a factor.
