One of the first big decisions Jon Scheyer made was to take his team to Houston on October 29th for a closed scrimmage with Houston.
And that’s going to be a load because Houston plays hard and defends very, very aggressively. They’re pegged at #3 preseason in the AP and the Coaches Poll.
The Cougars are coached by Kelvin Sampson, who has rebuilt his career and a legendary program at the same time.
Under Guy Lewis, the Cougars had legendary teams like the late ‘60s squad featuring Elvin Hayes and the Phi Slama Jamma team in the ‘80s, starring, among others, Hakeem Olajuwon.
