The Cougars’ regular season finale ends on a low note as Houston fell 74-45 to SMU Monday night in Dallas.
The Cougars finished the regular season at 11-18 overall, 4-12 in the American. They scored the most wins in the Hughey era and their best record since 2012-2013.
Senior center Jacqueline Blake ended her regular season career in style with a career-high 18 points on 5-14 shooting, including a career-high four 3-pointers.
The first quarter was a battle for each team. The Cougars held the Mustangs to only one point for the first four minutes of the game.
