Rockets beat the Wizards 107-88. First time the Rockets have won three straight. Not ever. That would be weird. John Wall 24 against his former team. Russell Westbrook 19 points and 11 rebounds against his former team. See what I did there? They were traded for each other before the season started. And that led to a little jaw-jacking. They each got teed up for yapping at each other. Victor Oladipo and Eric Gordon added 20 points apiece. Boogie Cousins 19 and 11. Rockets had their most healthy lineup of the season. They’re still missing Christian Wood with a sprained right ankle. Houston hosts Portlant Thursday night before a four-game road trip. 

A&M drops another one on the hardwood. This time to LSU 78-66. Ags went almost the last 9 minutes without scoring. They were led by Jay Jay Chandler’s 21 off the bench. 17 for Savion Flagg. One positive is they only turned it over 8 times. It had recently been a huge reason behind their slide down the standings. They’ve now lost five of six. They’ll face Kansas St. coming up Saturday in the B12-SEC Challenge….. Texas falls late to OU 80-79. Longhorns had a couple cracks at late shots and then couldn’t complete a full length of the court pass for one more attempt at a game-winner. UT had five scholarship players late in the game AND they were playing without Shaka Smart. Their head coach wasn’t on the sideline after testing positive for Covid. Kai Jones had a double double with 15-10 in the loss. Big 12-SEC challenge also next up for the Horns. Not much of a challenge. They get the worst Kentucky team in decades on Satruday….. SMU falls in Memphis 76-72. Mustangs without their head coach Tim Jankovich, You guessed it. Positive on Covid-19. Tyson Jolly 15 in the loss. Leading scorer for the ponies Kendric Davis held to 8 points.

Action tonight for Texas teams… #2 Baylor hosts Kansas State. Bears looking for the season sweep. They won by 31 in Manhattan in the Big 12 opener. It’s on espn2  at 8:00…. Not sure how this escaped me, maybe because I was off, but how about the fact that four teams from Texas are in the top-10. Probably won’t be that way next week with Texas and Texas Tech both losing the last two nights, BUT Houston holding steady. They’re back in action at Tulane Thursday night.….. in the Southland Conference: HBU is at Incarnate Word. Sam Houston plays down at A&M-CC. Two future WAC rivals: Abilene Christian home to first place SFA. 

Stars are rolling! Three games in and six points. First of two in three days against the Red Wings. Jason Dickinson the early first overtime game-winner. 2-1 win for Dallas. First time in eleven seasons they’ve won their first three. Run it back Thursday.

College football transfer season.
