Under head coach Kelvin Sampson, Houston rarely loses back-to-back games.

That trend continued Wednesday night in Orlando, Fla. as No. 3 UH bounced backed from its loss to Temple with a 82-71 victory over UCF to sweep the season series against the Knights.

Emanuel Sharp showed out in his first collegiate game in his home state, tying his career-high with 18 points off of the bench.

After falling behind 8-2, UH went on a 17-2 run that included four straight dunks, three of which came from redshirt junior forward J’Wan Roberts. The Cougars never trailed behind from there.
