For the first time in 15 days, the longest in-season layoff since 1962, No. 6 Houston returned to the court of the Fertitta Center and hosted Alcorn State on Sunday afternoon.
While the game itself was not the cleanest one for the Cougars, it came following days of in-dorm room lockdowns for the players due to COVID-19 issues within the program.
In the week leading up to UH’s 88-55 win against Alcorn State, the Cougars practiced with only six players for most of the days.
