After sitting out for 11 days due to COVID-19 issues, Houston opened up conference play with a double-digit win over Memphis, getting past the Tigers 75-63, bringing its record to 4-1 on the season and 1-0 in the American Athletic Conference.

While the Cougars were able to win by double-digits, getting back into the groove of playing college basketball was not as easy as it seemed for UH, who played with only eight players.

“The girls have to have a great mentality of wanting to do some extra conditioning,” said head coach Ronald Hughey.
