Houston comeback falls short against Kentucky
Senior guard Corey Davis Jr. and junior guard Armoni Brooks led the Cougars back from the brink, but it was not enough to win. | Ahmed Gul/The CougarThe dream season ended for Houston with a 62-58 loss to Kentucky in the Sweet Sixteen after making a huge comeback to almost win it.
The Cougars could not get anything going in the first half, which ultimately cost the team its chance at victory despite a great second half.
“We had our chances. We certainly had our chances. We had a lot of good looks throughout the game,” said head coach Kelvin Sampson. “When you get this far, it’s always tough. It’s always hard to accept losing a game.”
