Houston needed every bit of its top-25 scoring offense to fend off upset-minded UT-Arlington in its 71-63 victory Wednesday night at the Fertitta Center.
The Cougars, now 6-2, were anchored by sophomore guard Nate Hinton’s 25-point outing and extended their winning streak to four straight.
Hinton’s efficient 9-of-15 outing saw him record his career high in points. He also led the team in rebounds with 10, giving him his fourth double-double of the season.
Along with Hinton’s abundant shooting, redshirt freshman guard Caleb Mills and sophomore guard Quentin Grimes joined the North Carolina native in double-digit scoring.
