UPDATED 11:17 p.m.: Following the Houston men’s basketball team’s dominant 83-60 win over the Tulane Green Wave, head coach Kelvin Sampson provided an update on Quentin Grimes, who did not play in the game due to an ankle sprain.
“He’ll play Sunday for sure,” Sampson said.
The 65-year-old coach added that Grimes could have possibly played on Thursday, but the team decided to hold him out. Grimes went through shootaround prior to the game, Sampson said.
The Cougars are set to host SMU on Sunday at noon inside of Fertitta Center.
