Houston is back at Fertitta Center after a two-game road trip, in which the team won at East Carolina and suffered a crushing loss in Cincinnati, to take on the Tulane Green Wave on Thursday night.
The Cougars are coming off Saturday’s loss to the Bearcats, in which the team had a 10–point lead at halftime and extended it to as much as 15 in the second half, but Cincinnati outscored Houston 26-9 in the final 13 minutes of the game.
In the loss, freshman guard Marcus Sasser starred with 17 points including 4-5 shooting on 3-pointers.
