HOUSTON – The Texas State men's basketball team (9-3) closed out non-conference play on Thursday against a hot-shooting #13/#14 Houston (11-2) squad, falling 80-47 in the Fertitta Center.
"I thought we ran up against a juggernaut today. Obviously, Houston is one of the best teams in the country and has one of the best coaches to ever coach the game of basketball," said head coach TJ Johnson. "Their ability to shoot the ball as well as they did played a factor but I think the most important factor was their ability to guard us. [Houston] took us out of everything we wanted to run, were super aggressive and physical.
