Despite a lower shooting percentage and struggles on the boards, Houston managed to secure a comfortable victory with L.J. Cryer leading the way with 22 points. The team's strong defensive performance is highlighted by their top ranking in scoring defense, allowing an average of only 56.2 points per game. Key players like Cryer, Emmanuel Sharp, and Jamal Shead contribute to the team's offensive success, with Houston shooting 43.4% from the field and connecting on 7.5 three-pointers per game. Unfortunately, injuries have impacted the team's lineup, with players like Arceneaux and Walker Jr. out for the season. Despite these setbacks, Houston continues to showcase their strength on both ends of the court and remains a formidable force in college basketball. “Protect the crib” – @JwanRoberts13 2⃣5⃣-3⃣ On to The Next One #ForTheCity x #GoCoogs pic.twitter.com/2Ni2DR4nXc
