No. 11 Houston returns to the hardwood on Wednesday night when it hosts American Athletic Conference foe Wichita State at Fertitta Center.
The Cougars (8-1, 3-1 AAC) are coming off a 14-point victory over SMU, which ended a stretch of three straight road games against conference opponents.
Since playing four games in nine days, UH has seen the schedule ease up a bit as it has played only one game since last Tuesday against Tulsa.
“I can’t tell you the importance of recovery this time of the year, allowing your kids to just recover mentally,” UH head coach Kelvin Sampson told reporters on Tuesday morning in a Zoom conference call.
