‘He ain’t no pretty boy’: Justin Gorham, the embodiment of UH’s identity

During the midway point of the second half in Tuesday’s game at Fertitta Center when No. 6 Houston hosted Temple, UH senior forward Justin Gorham and Owls’ guard Damiam Dunn got into a skirmish.

The Cougars were in the midst of an 11-0 run, and the Owls had just fallen behind by 25 points. As the players chirped for a bit during a timeout, UH head coach Kelvin Sampson had one thought, go get Gorham off the court.

“The first one I grabbed was Justin Gorham,” Sampson told reporters after the game on a Zoom conference call.
