After cruising past Oklahoma in its season opener, Houston could not overcome Alabama’s offensive onslaught on Sunday afternoon as the Cougars dropped the game 88-66.
Throughout the first half, the game was like a seesaw, but head coach Ronald Hughey felt that the contest slipped through their fingertips when the team “got frustrated,” which led to his players starting to play as individuals.
Early in the game, however, the Cougars moved the ball a lot. UH was in an early groove when fifth-year guard Eryka Sidney and sophomore Britney Onyeje got the momentum flowing with back-to-back 3-pointers to put UH up by five.
