Jarace Walker posted his first-career double-double, scoring 12 points to go along with 10 boards, as No. 1 UH defeated North Florida 76-42 on Tuesday night in the Cougars’ final tune up before Saturday’s much-anticipated rematch with No. 8 Alabama.
Marcus Sasser, who became the 50th Cougar in program history to score 1,000 career points after hitting his first two 3-pointers of the night, left the game with 12 minutes, 17 seconds remaining in the first half with a left eye laceration.
Sasser had his eye stitched up but did not return to the court, finishing with 12 points, all of which came in the first seven minutes of action.
