For UH guard Marcus Sasser, sharpshooting runs in the family

The only thing that could stop sophomore guard Marcus Sasser in Houston’s Saturday afternoon contest against Tulane was the bench.

The 6-foot-1-inch sophomore out of Red Oak was the definition of a walking bucket, connecting on six of his seven 3-point attempts in the first half.

“I feel the basket gets bigger and bigger every time I see the ball go in,” Sasser said. “It just gives me more confidence.”

Sasser nearly outscored the entire Tulane team by himself in the first half with his 20 points.

Sasser connected twice more from downtown in the second half to set the Fertitta Center record for most 3-pointers made by a player in a game with eight.
