January 15, 2019
The No. 17/15 Cougars are off to a 15-1 start and are taking the basketball world by storm with a tough defense, good rebounding and solid shooting.
Houston’s defense is keeping teams to just 60 points per game and are out-rebounding opponents by eight per game.
Senior Corey Davis Jr. and junior Armoni Brooks are scoring about 15 points a game while freshman Cedrick Alley Jr. and Nate Hinton have been huge contributors in their first season.
Take a look at photos from the Cougars’ key games from this season and highlight moments against marquee teams.
