MWC is a 1 bid league at best.

I was just going to say the same thing. They look like an 8-9 seed to me. 
 

N. Kentucky shot about a million 3’s and only made 14% of them. And not because Houston was playing good defense. It was a brick fest. 

The thing that you are not understanding is that those threes, although open, are taken with the mental pressure of knowing they’re playing a 1 seed.

I miss a lot of easy shots in tennis when playing against a much better player simply due to the pressure of playing them.

There is no pressure for a 16 seed.  They're supposed to get blown out.  That's why N Kentucky was able to play so free and easy.  They literally had nothing to lose.  Sometimes the shots just don't fall.  What's impressive is that they made a game of it while not being able to hit the broad side of a barn.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

One of these two answers is correct.  PH, you should take notes for next time.

It’s a little bit of both.  There’s not the pressure of expectations.  However, there’s the pressure that comes with being open and knowing those looks don’t grow on trees.

Utah State felt the pressure of playing a marginal SEC team yesterday.

Your point and logic are very weak.  My point is, Houston as a 1 seed looked very questionable. If N Kentucky even shot remotely average from the cheap seats, they win this game. Why they missed is irrelevant.

it’s my least favorite major city. Dirty, ugly, mind-bending traffic, unbearable weather. 

1st round exit and stuck in G5 Hell.

 

If you were better, then how come nobody wants to invest in Reno or anything in Nevada not named Las Vegas?

The Houston Independent School District just got taken over by the state.  And the mayor basically shrugged his shoulders and said 'expected it'.

 

 

That's Houston.

Hey he showed you a photo of a nice creek and tall buildings!  How dare you!

I think that only has water in it when the city floods. Lol.

Houston is ranked No. 1 on this list, though ... https://www.houstoniamag.com/travel-and-outdoors/2013/11/houston-ugliest-city-in-the-first-world-november-2013

I once got caught in a traffic jam in Houston.  Which isn't so unusual.

 

Except...

 

It was a Saturday.

And 10:30 at night.

No construction.

No accident.

 

 

 

 

That's Houston.

Took my daughter to a soccer tournament in Houston the April after Harvey hit.  Only half the fields were playable because the park still hadn't drained 6 months later.

Nobody in Texas really likes to admit Houston is in the state.

Earlier, @Fowl made a comparison to Mumbai. I don’t think he’s far off in that comparison.  Btw, those seagulls in the one picture never landed. They were turning around because the stench was even too bad for them.  Btw, how could you live like this at all? Maybe these folks  think it’s art?
