That is exactly what Houston was hoping for... Not talking about the win, but they wanted the game to get into the 80's and 90's (or 100's in this case). That's how they play.
OU played small (1 post player), a zone (which they tore to shreds), and OU tried to score with them.
It was like a wish-list that Tom Penders sent to Jeff Capel, and it was granted. You beat a team like Houston by killing them on the glass, slowing them down, and being on their guards like white on rice. OU clearly can't do this, otherwise there is no reasonable explanation for playing the game exactly how Houston wanted to.
They get pretty much nothing out of the post and were supposed to be a really bad rebounding their team. Their best rebounder was their shooting guard who had 10 rebounds.
OU was able to score with them in the first half, but that is not OU's game and they werent able to keep up with it for the whole game. At one point late in the second half Houston was outscoring OU by 20.
I won't make a bunch of threads about this game... If you look at the box you would think OU played great, they just didnt play their game. They played Houston's and they got beat.
