Houston reminded the rest of the American Athletic Conference that it is still the team to beat, as the 10th ranked Cougars put an absolute beatdown on East Carolina on their way to a 79-36 victory on Saturday night at Fertitta Center.
With the win, senior forward Fabian White Jr. became the Fertitta Center’s winningest player with his 45th win inside the arena.
The game was practically over just eight minutes in as the Cougars found themselves up 21 points after starting the game with two huge scoring runs, 10-0 and 13, that were broken up by a singular East Carolina basket.
