Junior guard Quentin Grimes’ absence was no problem for No. 6 Houston in its 83-60 win at Tulane on on Thursday night.
Seemingly out of nowhere, redshirt sophomore guard Cameron Tyson came off the bench and tied a program record for by hitting nine 3-pointers against Tulane, and the rest of his teammates loved it.
“They were reveling in his success,” UH coach Kelvin Sampson told reporters after the game. “They wanted him to keep shooting.”
Through the first five minutes of the game, the Green Wave were within two, and then the Cougars (14-1, 9-1 American Athletic Conference) stepped on the gas.
