45-23 going into Halftime between Houston and Jacksonville State

This team has done a great job of drawing fouls but have allowed Jacksonville State to get a few second chance opportunities. Chendall Weaver has also brought some nice intensity on both ends of the floor. Houston shooting 4/14 from three point range is not ideal, but getting to the line and scoring inside has made it up tenfold.

🏀 Houston Basketball Game Breakdown vs Jacksonville State

Houston Cougar Basketball returns home to Fertitta Center to play Jacksonville State for the first time ever with tipoff at 7PM.

Jacksonville State is 1-1 to start the season but could have entered this contest 2-0 after they lost a heartbreaker in double OT to South Alabama 83-80. This is a brand new team for Coach Ray Harper as they have 14 new players on their roster with Jordan Stiemke being the leading option for this Gamecock team as he already had 44 points through two games. Stiemke also hit six threes against South Alabama in a 27 point performance. This team lives and dies by the three and Houston's aggressiveness both inside and along the perimeter might be too much for Jacksonville State to handle.

The Coogs will have this one at home before travelling to Las Vegas for the Players Era 8 Tournament next Tuesday, and after the way this team dominated California last Sunday, there will be much to look forward to out of this offense. Chase McCarty's quick return was awesome to see but was still on the court for 12 minutes; it'll be curious to see how his minutes are utilized in this game. Dedan Thomas looked great scoring a team high 20 points this past Sunday. Thomas also had a great game facilitating the ball with the 8 assists he picked up as he had another solid offensive showing.

Houston should continue to expand their game tonight on both ends. Houston’s length and overall talent should be the biggest separators in this one. Expect the Coogs to get a good jump on the Gamecocks and control both ends of the floor for 40 minutes.

[The Rooting Guide @TheRootingGuide]

Houston still has two playoff doors open: an at-large bid and a conference championship. 🐾

That makes this weekend’s Big 12 scoreboard especially interesting.

Oklahoma State beating Texas Tech would help open up the conference-title race. Baylor beating BYU could help there too, while also handing a major at-large competitor another loss.

Same conference. Two different reasons to care.

A trip to the Big 12 title game would give Houston a chance to settle this with a trophy. The at-large route gives the Cougars another way in.

First, though: beat Colorado. None of this gets easier if Houston becomes the upset everyone else is celebrating.

Then it’s Go Pokes and Sic ’Em—a temporary alliance with very specific terms and conditions.

Here’s who Houston should root for in Week 11 👇

Tips

- When handling raw eggs do wash hands immediately after handling.
- THE CAKE FLOUR CANNOT BE SUBSTITUTED if you want the cookies to rise like in the video you must use Cake Flour and All-Purpose Flour; if you decide to go all AP Flour you will fail.
-The brand of Cake Flour I use is Swans Down and I found it at Target.
- If you are using a stand mixer, the cookie dough will thicken enough to make your stand mixer's motor potentially over-work so do not hesitate to fold chocolate and walnuts by hand.
- The brand of dark chocolate that you use does not matter just as long as it is in the bittersweet range (60-70% cacao).
- You can choose to brown the butter for your cookie dough if you prefer, but you'll need 1 3/4 cup (3.5 sticks) since browning butter evaporates the moisture and you wind up with less after it is browned; the amount remains the same whether using browned butter or not for the recipe.
- DO NOT LISTEN TO ME IN THE VIDEO WHEN I SAY COOL FOR 5-10 MINUTES THE COOKIES WILL BREAK APART EASILY (try 30 minutes).

Ingredients

- 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- One 8oz bag of Chopped Walnuts (I got mine from HEB)
- 1 1/4 cup packed Light Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup White Granulated Sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 12oz 60-70% Dark Chocolate (Three 4 oz chocolate bars)
- 1 1/2 cups Cake Flour (171 grams)
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (240 grams)
- 1.5 teaspoons salt (kosher preferred but sea salt is fine)
- 2 teaspoons Corn Starch
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda

Recipe

- Preheat oven to 350F and after preheat toast walnuts for 7-8 minutes in a baking sheet; set aside to cool after toasting
- Melt butter in a small pot over medium-low heat
- Chop the chocolate bars and set in a bowl
- Combine Light Brown Sugar and White Sugar in a bowl
- Combine Cake Flour, All-Purpose Flour, Salt, Cornstarch, and Baking Soda in a separate bowl
- Add melted butter to sugars with mixer running and stream in until combined
- Begin adding eggs one at a time; best to crack eggs in a small bowl to separate the egg yolk from the egg white
- After all eggs are added, begin adding flour one spoonful at a time until all is mixed in the cookie dough
- Fold in chocolate and walnuts until they have all been combined thoroughly in the cookie dough
- Wrap bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours (will help with shaping)
- After chilling, begin shaping cookies into 4-6oz dough balls (it should make between 10-12 cookies depending on size you shape them)
- Either re-chill cookies for 2-24 hours after shaping or set your oven to 425F and bake cookies for 11-12 minutes
- IF RE-CHILLING cover baking sheet with cookies with plastic wrap and set in the fridge
- After baking, let cool 30 minutes at least before moving to a wire rack
-Repeat baking process with remaining cookies until they are all baked
- Optionally before eating you can add a light pinch of flakey/coarse salt on top of the cookie to help cut through the bitterness of the chocolate (it'll make it 10 percent better promise)

EAT 'EM UP!

The stark differences remain — this week with a strong disagreement on the third best team in the country and some notable shifts across the board:
