Men’s basketball opens regular season with blowout win

Senior forward Devonta Pollard and junior guard Ronnie Johnson shined as the Houston men’s basketball came out with a 110-69 win in its season-opener versus Prairie View A&M University Wednesday night.

“We wore them down,” head coach Kelvin Sampson said. “We’ve said all along that the strength of our team is going to be our depth, and you understand why watching our team tonight. We don’t have just one guy we depend on. The way this team is built, we can play different combinations. We can be big. We can be small. We can be fast.”

The Cougars shot 57.
