Just thirteen days removed from Temple ending Houston’s second stint being ranked No. 1 by pulling off the shocking upset at Fertitta Center, the Cougars refused to let lightning strike twice.
Down by four at the half, No. 3 UH rode a 13-0 run to begin a dominant second half to get its revenge on the Temple, defeating the Owls 81-65 in Philadelphia on Sunday night to improve to 22-2 (10-1 AAC).
Back in his home state of Pennsylvania, Jarace Walker put on a show for the fans that packed Liacouras Center.
The 6-foot-8-inch UH freshman forward had the hot hand early, hitting his first three 3-pointers of the night on his way to 16 first-half points.
