The Houston men’s basketball team spent a good portion of its Thanksgiving Day watching film from Wednesday’s matchup against Lamar and looking at scouting reports and clips of its next opponent, Boise State.
By the end of the holiday, senior guard DeJon Jarreau, who UH head coach Kelvin Sampson described as a film watcher, knew who his defensive assignment was going to be for Friday afternoon — Broncos senior guard Derrick Alston Jr.
Not only did Jarreau know his matchup, but he embraced it, and was ready to go out and perform, Sampson said, which was exactly what the 6-foot-5-inch guard did.
