In the Cougars’ final game in Charles Koch Arena as part of the American Athletic Conference, Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson said “If this is my last time then I thank the Good Lord [that] it was with a win.”
Wichita State lost to No.3 Houston 70-61 on Feb. 2, drawing their overall series 18-18.
“It’s heartbreaking, man,” senior forward James Rojas said. “We wanted that game just as bad as anybody in the country. They’re a great team. They showed why they’re the No. 3 team in the country. They never got rattled and they’re a great all-around team.
