Kelvin Sampson post game

Sampson and Drew were complimentary of our team and fans Tang was a whiney biatch.
Since 2006, SEC has won 13 of 17 national championships.
Big 12 has clearly emerged as the top mbb conference in the last couple years, but maintaining that is not easy.
I think it has been by the metrics the last 5 or so and the road to a national title in basketball is so much more random.
The SEC has been a big deal in football for a long time so I'm not sure if it's worth comparing.
Always been a big Kelvin Sampson fan. I was hoping we'd hire his son Kellen with our last hire. Obviously thrilled with the how things have worked out with TJ and I think Houston will be a power for many years to come if/when Kellen takes over for Kelvin.
His message in Ames was directed to his team. He wanted them to know they played bad and not crack his teams armor. It worked and they won the league. Give him the credit he is due. The loser in this situation is Indiana. How dumb are they to let him go?
The first game Houston lost in the last few seconds of the game for their first loss of the season, any coach would be upset and disappointed in that. Last night Sampson knew it was over after ISU came out and hit their first three shots of the 2nd half to push out the lead to 15 or so. I saw on their website that Houston decided at half that they were no longer going to play the kid with shin bruise the 2nd half. Sampson threw in the towel with 10 minutes left, he knew that they were not catching ISU at that point, so he had resigned himself to that fact and was very generous at his press conference. The guy has been around a long time, and by now he knows at times you just have to take the loss and move on, a fact a coach like Tang needs to learn.
