UH athletics impacted by winter storm in Houston area

The city of Houston has been hit hard by a winter storm that dropped temperatures into the teens across the area, and UH athletics has also been impacted.

“(We’re) at the mercy of the weather,” men’s basketball coach Kelvin Sampson said.

UH is hoping it can fly out to Wichita State by Wednesday afternoon, Sampson said, but the team is experiencing plane issues.

The Guy V. Lewis Training Facility has been without power and water since Sunday, Sampson told reporters on Wednesday.

The men’s basketball team had to move practices and film sessions inside of Fertitta Center, however, they have been unable to use the showers and the restrooms inside the facility.
