When forward Fabian White Jr. walked off the court of the Fertitta Center on March 8, 2020, his confidence was at an all-time high.
He had tallied 18 points and 14 rebounds against one of the premier players in the American Athletic Conference, forward Precious Achiuwa, and he was thrilled to see what the conference and NCAA Tournaments had in store for both him and Houston.
That excitement, however, never got to see a payoff. Just four days later, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of the AAC Tournament and the NCAA soon followed.
