They look to be our toughest test yet. To beat them we have to continually show them different looks on defense. They knew exactly what Syracuse was going to be in on defense right from the get go. They don't have to shoot the ball great because they pound the offensive boards and as a result get a lot of put backs and second chance points. If we don't or can't rebound with them,they will kill us on the boards. We have a couple of guards who are not able to rise to this level of play,yet. One is completely out of his comfort zone and the other is trying way to hard and playing out of control. Thompson needs help on the perimeter. We must shoot it well from 3pt line in order to pull Cougars out from under the basket. Thompson can always find a way to score the ball, we just need our other shooters to find their stroke. If we can keep Houston in the 60's we have a chance.

Reichle needs to find his groove again. He doesn't need to score 20, but he does need to find his comfort zone again so he is at least willing to take an open 3.

Really not sure what's up with Reichle. I find myself puckering up and preparing for the worst whenever he gets the ball and does something with it other than spot up and shoot (and he isn't even doing that lately). I admit, there are times when I feel like he represents a former class of player that we had to settle for back in darker days. On the other hand, the guy CAN shoot, and I console myself by remembering that opposing teams need to account for him at all times in their perimeter defense, and that is probably opening up our offense in ways that aren't immediately visible.
I'm hoping that the more games he's a non-factor, the more teams will miss him in their scouting and he'll come through in a big way at a crucial time.

How long until Houston is under sanctions?

The thing is, the last couple of games he has been a factor without scoring. Taking charges, making hustle plays and even some decent defense. But yes, he’s still passing up open 3’s, which we need him to take to move on.
