The UH women’s basketball team’s defense was all over the court in its 71-61 win against the Auburn Tigers on Saturday at Fertitta Center.
After starting off the season 1-1, defeating Oklahoma in its season opener but falling to Alabama a few days later, Houston faced its third straight major-conference opponent in Auburn.
The Cougars gave up a staggering 173 points through their first two games, but Houston’s defense set the tone from the opening tip.
UH conceded just nine points and forced a whopping ten turnovers in the first quarter.
The Tigers couldn’t find an answer to the Cougars full-court press all game as eight Cougars recorded at least one steal.
