No. 5 Houston will be looking for its ninth straight win when it travels to Greenville, North Carolina to take on East Carolina on Wednesday.
The Cougars (15-1, 10-1 American Athletic Conference) enter the game following a 70-48 win over SMU. In that contest, UH outscored the Mustangs 42-24 in the second half. Sophomore guard Marcus Sasser led the team with 19 points, and senior forward Justin Gorham had 17 rebounds.
Gorham has recorded double-digit rebounds in eight straight games. He is the first UH player to have such a streak since forward Tim Moore in the 1994-95 season.
