Houston’s LJ Cryer goes for his chance to win NCAA titles at 2 schools in finale vs. Florida

SAN ANTONIO — LJ Cryer knows the thrill that comes only with winning a national championship from his time as a spot-duty freshman at Baylor.

He could make history with a second title, and maybe savor the moment a little more, too.

Cryer is playing his fifth college season as the leading scorer for Houston, which faces Florida for the NCAA title. A win would make Cryer the first player to win titles at two schools, though this time without the COVID-19 backdrop of 2021.

“That definitely would be special,” Cryer said, roughly 18 hours after the Cougars rallied to stun Duke in the semifinals.
