Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson, who spoke to reporters on Thursday, revealed how COVID-19 has hit his team hard since December started, saying since the program returned in the summer, all 15 of his players have tested positive for the virus, and so have “some” of the coaches and managers.
Against South Carolina, which was on Dec. 5, UH was without both Kelvin (contact tracing) and lead assistant Kellen Sampson (positive) due to COVID-19 issues. What the program has learned since was that it was just the tip of the iceberg of what was to come.
The UH men’s basketball team has not played since that win over the Gamecocks.
