Poor Ody. It's in his head now. It's a shame because he is one of the few physical inside guys UC has.
These long stretches of little to no scoring need to get fixed.

At times, Houston can look invincible. 25(Walker?) is a great player.

How many times did Lahkin or Ody catch the ball under the basket, and instead of going up for the dunk/layup, they would wait for the defender and then miss the shot and not get fouled. Those plays made my blood boil. As offensively challenged as those guys are, they need to covert on those easy points.

It bothered me too. Ody did it 2-3 times...twice when he was completely alone and allowed the defense to get there.

I would not call Lahkin offensively challenged. They made him hesitant in the first half with the speed and length of both the guys on him and the help. I thought he adjusted and really started going strong in the second half (which got him to the foul line). He had an efficient 16 points. He's scored 16 against X, He scored 17 against Arizona, He scored 12 against OSU (leading scorer, team only had 53). He's not only been a consistent offensive player, he's done it against the best teams on our schedule.
