Two of the past three years, Moody Coliseum was not friendly to Houston. The Cougars flipped the script on Thursday night as No. 2 UH cruised past the Mustangs 80-65 in its final regular-season meeting with its in-state rival as a member of the American Athletic Conference.
Jamal Shead made everything he did look easy. When the junior guard saw some space, he drove by his defender for an easy bucket. When the defense collapsed on him, Shead found the open teammate on his way to 13 points and eight assists
With just over six minutes left in the first half, Shead went on a personal 7-0 run to put UH up 10.
