The Houston men’s basketball team will be in Dallas on Sunday evening to take on SMU as the Cougars finish up a stretch of three straight conference road games.
No. 5 UH (7-1, 2-1 American Athletic Conference) is coming off its first loss of the season on Tuesday when Tulsa guard Brandon Rachal knocked down two free throws with only 0.1 seconds left on the clock, which erased a go-ahead jumper by sophomore guard Caleb Mills that had put the Cougars in front by one.
UH will have gotten five days in between games when it gets on the court on Sunday, which is the longest break the Cougars have had since returning from the 15-day layoff due to COVID-19 issues within the program.
