UH Basketball Tonight
Ken Stocks of the Galveston Daily News penned a fine column on UH basketball coach Tom Penders earlier this week.
I finally remembered to listen to the live Penders program this Monday, and was impressed. The guy is pretty articulate, and I like his attitude. Oh, and he can coach a little bit. He actually called out the NBA product, saying that too many players just stand around for too much of the game, and you won't see that from any team he coaches.
And it's true. I don't think he has the level of talent he would like on this team, but they hustle, and they play tenacious defense. They've been a lot of fun to watch, especially compared to the product the last three UH coaches put out.
Tonight, they host Tulane. I hope it draws a decent crowd. General admission seats are priced as low as the baseball games now ($6). I think it's the best six sports dollars you can spend in the town right now.
(Update): Okay, so that was one tough home loss (first of the season). Between the poor shooting, missing half the free throws, and awful officiating, I would have expected a much bigger loss. Instead, Tulane makes a tough, clutch shot to win with 2 seconds left. It never should have come to that, but it did. And, it's a testament to that hustling defense UH was still in it at the end anyway. Still $6 well spent.

I'm sure glad I went to Floores instead of listening to the game online. It was a fun show by Jason Boland and the Stragglers tonight.
Well I'll read all about the game in the morning.

Hope to see you in Moulton on Saturday for the Dead End Angels!
It should be a fun time. I need some good music and fresh Shiner. :)

I'll be there with another UH alum from SA.
I'll be looking for you and your posse.
