Good news--Matt and Carter are back to fill the Roost Podcast-shaped hole in your heart (for now) with a stuffed episode looking back on the Owls' second spring under Scott Abell. We take a position-by-position look at the roster and whether we're buying or selling an optimistic take on each position.

Welcome to Episode #80 of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast.

This is our 1st offseason episode of season three.  And just as in the previous two years, the 3 old men discuss the major portal commitments and roster decisions made after one week of the portal season.  The Houston coaching staff clearly had a plan and executed it well, retaining all three top returning players and identifying and locking down four impact portal additions. 

The coaching staff has constructed a roster that will be rich in offensive firepower and size, deep in D1 experience, and back to the "Dawg Mentality" that was missing this past season.  Add two elite freshmen into the mix, and UH has the potential recipe for another run for the Final 4 and a national championship next year.

So we’ll kick things off with our thoughts on the transfer portal additions: Thomas, Gillespie, Hadnot, and East.  Then take a look at how we each see rotations playing out going into next season.  And then we'll close things off by taking a quick look at how some of our counterparts in the XII fared so far in the Portal ahead of next season.

After a phenomenal season, the Texas Women's Basketball team ran into the buzz saw that was the UCLA Bruins -- a team they actually beat earlier in the season. However, UCLA's dominant defense proved to be too much for Texas and their stars, leaving them a game shy of the championship.

We also dive in on the Texas Relays and the upcoming rivalry games for the baseball and softball teams.

Welcome to Episode #79 of the No Conference for Old Men Podcast.

UH ends its basketball season at 30-7 after a 10-point loss to Illinois in the Sweet 16.  We knew this matchup was going to be a tough one for this year's team, and Illinois made things extremely uncomfortable for the Coogs on the offensive end. 

But as we turn the page to next season, Coach Kelvin Sampson reaffirmed his commitment to return for another run at that national championship.  And now the roster reloading begins.

Please have a listen as the 3 Old Men summarize the Sweet 16 game and weigh in on what we believe needs to occur with the roster building during the upcoming Portal Season.
