The Houston men’s basketball program will open up its 2020-21 regular season against Lamar on Wednesday afternoon at Fertitta Center.
With the season starting a few weeks later than it normally does, UH head coach Kelvin Sampson is looking forward to finally seeing his team go up against different competition.
“We are ready to play,” Sampson told reporters via a Zoom video call on Tuesday morning. “We don’t need 30 more practices. We need to play a game.”
As UH enters the new season ranked in both the AP Poll and USA Today’s Coaches Poll, it will have plenty of expectations to start off strong right out the gates, but Sampson knows that the team he sees on the court Wednesday will not be the same one once March rolls around.
