No. 1 UH defeated UCF on the road 67-59 Wednesday evening. With the win, Houston clinches at least a share of the Big 12 regular season title and has the opportunity to clinch with a win Saturday against No.7 ranked Kansas.
The Cougars showed their heroics battling back after trailing 31-28 at the half. Senior Guard LJ Cryer was the driving force of the comeback putting up 25 points with critical made threes.
Before the break, Houston shot just 18% from beyond the arc, with Cryer hitting the Cougars first three with just 3:51 to go in the first.
