Coming into conference play, the men’s basketball team was off to a monumental 13-0 start.
No. 21/17 Houston roared through its demanding non-conference schedule with victories over three major-conference teams: Oregon, Oklahoma State and LSU. The team also had resume-boosting victories over BYU, St. Louis and Utah State.
But the undefeated streak ended when UH lost at Temple after a game-tying bucket from senior Corey Davis Jr. was called off due to an offensive foul.
The American Athletic Conference is tallied as the No. 6 most difficult conference, which actually tops one of the major six conferences, the PAC-12.
