As March nears, UH men’s basketball struggles to find rhythm

The Houston men’s basketball team is only three weeks away from the start of the American Athletic Conference Tournament and Selection Sunday.

Three weeks away from reaching the point where a year ago, life across the country and the entire world, changed. And yet, head coach Kelvin Sampson feels that his team is anywhere but three weeks away.

“For some reason, I feel like we’re in December with our team,” Sampson told reporters, in what likely was his longest availability with reporters on Friday morning through Zoom.

His team played its 20th game on Thursday in the loss to Wichita State.
