Marcus Sasser stepped off the Fertitta Center floor, a court on which he had played 1,460 minutes over the course of four years and for the final time on Thursday night.
As he walked to the bench, a standing ovation from a record Fertitta Center crowd of 7,879 and hugs from his teammates and coaches greeted the senior guard, who tied Robert McKiver’s program record for career 3-pointers made with 261 and Fabian White Jr. as the winningest player in Fertitta Center history (49-4) in No. 1 UH’s win over Wichita State.
Just nine months ago, it was unclear if Sasser would even have a senior night as the UH guard heavily considered leaving school early and keeping his name in the 2022 NBA Draft.
