No. 8 Houston got back to its winning ways against the American Athletic Conference when it took down South Florida on Wednesday, but what stood out from the victory wasn’t the double-digit margin, instead, it was the team’s selfless identity.
Senior guard DeJon Jarreau, who finished with 17 points and eight rebounds, had a strong night for the Cougars (17-2, 11-2 AAC), particularly early on as it seemed like every time UH scored, the Louisiana native was the orchestrator behind it.
“DeJon was the key to the engine tonight,” UH head coach Kelvin Sampson told reporters after the game.
