UH got its second win of the season after defeating Boise State 68-58 on Friday inside of Fertitta Center.
Both teams got off to rocky starts with early turnovers and misses until the Cougars got on the board first with a Justin Gorham layup that came off his own offensive rebound.
Sophomore guard Caleb Mills also made his season debut about five minutes into the first half and broke a 5-5 tie with a jumper that put the Cougars up two.
Freshman guard Tramon Mark then notched the second three-pointer for the Cougars at the 12-minute mark to put the Cougars up 14-9.
