‘Brick by brick’: UH men’s basketball team coming together

39.8 points, 22.7 rebounds, 7.8 assists and countless intangibles are what the 2021-22 UH men’s basketball program will have to replace on a nightly basis after losing four starters from last season’s Final Four team.

“Last year we had so many guys coming back,” said UH men’s basketball coach Kelvin Sampson. “This year we lost four guys that basically started (all of last season), so we’re having to indoctrinate a lot of guys into how we play.”

But Sampson has been in this situation before, finding success after having to replace players like Rob Gray, Corey Davis Jr.
