On Saturday, head coach Kelvin Sampson and the No. 1 Cougars will travel to Norman, Okla. to play the Oklahoma Sooners in the team’s penultimate road game and first game in March.
It’ll be a tough game for a Houston team that looks to further tighten its grip on a potential Big 12 regular season title against an equally tough opponent inside Lloyd Noble Arena. But for Sampson, it’ll be the first time back in the gym he coached in for 12 years and won four Big 12 titles.
“I probably grew more as a coach there than anywhere I’ve been,” Sampson said.
