One of the final memories Nate Hinton has of the UH men’s basketball team occurred on the morning of March 12,.
As the story goes, the team was on its way to Fort Worth to compete in the American Athletic Conference Championship tournament, when its bus had to make a sudden u-turn after the event was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
A few hours and a Buc-ee’s stop later, the Cougars were back on campus and soon they each went their separate ways.
For the 6-foot-5-inch Hinton, although he might not have realized it, his time at UH was done.
