Marcus Sasser tied the Houston record for career 3-pointers with 261 and Jamal Shead scored a career-high 25 points as the top-ranked Cougars extended their win streak to 10 games, defeating Wichita State 83-66 on Thursday night in front of a record-setting Fertitta Center crowd of 7,879.
After all seven of his first-half points came at the free throw line, Sasser got hot from beyond the arc once his first field goal, a 3-pointer, went down with 16:13 left in the first half.
Sasser finished with 24 points on 6-of-12 shooting.
Shead, Sasser’s partner in crime in the Cougars’ backcourt, scored a career-high 25 points.
