No. 13 Houston blew by Texas State University in a 80-47 win Wednesday night at Fertitta Center and secured win No. 11 on the young season.
The game got off to a scary start for the short-handed Cougars as sophomore guard Jamal Shead limped off court just a minute and a half in and freshman guard Ramon Walker Jr. had to check-in. Shead returned to the game minutes later.
Junior guard Marcus Sasser got going early, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers to put the Cougars up 15-8 early in the first half.
UH took the momentum and ran with it.
