Houston comes into the game after beating up on Georgia Tech. However, a lot of the winning power came from a huge first half for the Cougars. If it was not for the Cougars getting the first half squared away, the chances of the Cougars winning the game would have been dramatically reduced and almost made impossible for the Cougars to win.
Quentin Grimes had a huge explosion for 26 points in the game to lock down the win. The Cougars ended up getting another 15 points from Fabian White Jr. White also finished up a double-double by getting 12 rebounds in the game as well. The starters for the Cougars may be a little bit fatigued coming into the game here as the Cougars only used three subs in the game.
