Rockets on the business end of another butt-kickin’, this time to the Pelicans in the Big Easy.  Pelicans pelt the Rockets 130-101. 17-oh run in the 2nd for the Pelicans. John Wall 25 in the loss. Houston is 0-3 since the Christian Wood injury. Rockets are back in the home digs at Toyota Center tomorrow night against Miami. Homecoming for Jimmy Butler btw. 

Warriors pay back the Spus 114-91. Steph Curry NOT from Texas, but he continues to prove he’s ok at this basketball thing with 32 points and a modest four threes. Rudy Gay 17 in the loss. Nearly month-long Rodeo Road Trip is up next for the Spurs…. Tonight the Mavs host the Hawks. 6:30 on ESPN for you commoners that gripe about not getting the Mavs on tv. I’m not buying it personally, but the Mavs have won three of four. They’re still 14th in the west. Dallas won in Atlanta last week

College basketball in our great state: #7 Texas goes down to visiting WV 82-71. Mountaineers take the season sweep  Mac McClung 17 points and three of their five threes before fouling out. Terrence Shannon 13 off the bench. Chris Beard tossed in the final minute. Red Raiders scheduled game against #2 Baylor is PPD, so their next one is Monday at TCU..… .

 #13 Texas needed every bit of Andrew Jones 24 points and four threes to win in the Little Apple. 80-77 Longhorns over Kansas State. Burnt Orange tied a season-high with 13 3s…  Greg Brown 17, Courtney Ramey 14 for UT. They snapped a three-game slide and a wild nugget here. They haven’t beat anyone that’s NOT Kansas State in over a month now. They’ll try to do that against visiting TCU Saturday. .…. Speaking of them Horned Frogs they were home to Iowa State. TCU wins 79-76 thanks to a late 18-7 rally. RJ Nembhard had 20 with seven assists. Kevin Samuel had a double double.… also Tarleton St. squeaked by McMurry 112-54. Montre Gipson 14 points and 14 assists.

TONIGHT: #8 Houston is at South Florida on ESPNU. Slew of games in the Southland. First place Sam Houston hosting SELa. Also first place abilene Christian hosts HBU … Incarnate Word home to NW St… SFA hosts A&M-CC. Islanders are winless in conference play. Lumberjacks are not….. Lamar hosts Nicholls at the Montagne Center.

Stars are in a funk. They get swept by Chicago, 2-1 loss in ot for the second straight game. Stars have dropped five of six since their 4-0-0 start.  Anton Khudobin was NOT between the pipes. That honor went to young Jake Oettinger. Roope Hintz scored the lone goal for Dallas. Thursday they’re at Carolina.
