No. 3 UH cruises past McNeese State behind 3-point barrage

Whenever Emmanuel Sharp had the ball in his hands with a sliver of space beyond the arc, McNeese State was in trouble.

Sharp hit six 3’s on his way to a career-high 18 points in No. 3 UH’s 83-44 win over McNeese State on Tuesday night at Fertitta Center.

Marcus Sasser was also hot from deep, going 5-for-10 from 3-point range and finishing with 17 points.

Sophomore forward Ja’Vier Francis collected his third double-double of the season, setting a new career-high in scoring with 23 points while also pulling down 13 boards, seven of which came on the offensive glass.
