After starting the season off hotter than ever, the men’s basketball team is looking to prove itself actual contenders as it enters American Athletic Conference play.
With 13 wins under its belt, including Lousiana State University and conference rivals Temple University, Houston has shown it isn’t just a product of easy scheduling.
Although fifth in the AAC after winning three of its five conference matchups, there are 12 games remaining to play, and from the perspective of opposing teams, Houston is still viewed as an automatic win on their schedules.
Still evolving, the Cougars have potential to change their opponents’ opinion along the way—it’s just a matter of them going out and competing.
