For much of Houston’s young season, head coach Kelvin Sampson has pointed out his team’s inexperience and has emphasized how much of the Cougars’ youth can be seen on the defensive side of the ball.
But in Wednesday night’s 68-60 win against Texas State, UH showed some signs of defensive improvement.
“I thought our defense was better tonight, and that’s the most important thing,” head coach Kelvin Sampson said. “We shot 35 percent from the floor, and that’s going to happen. I’m not disappointed in that. I’m a coach. I understand that’s part of it, but when you shoot 35 percent and you can win by eight, that says your team’s growing.
