The No. 7 Houston Cougars grabbed their second win of the year Saturday afternoon, soundly beating Texas A&M Corpus Christi at home 82-50.
The Cougars came out to a sluggish start, falling behind 12-7 before embarking on a 12-0 run led primarily by sophomore guard Ramon Walker Jr. off of the bench.
“That’s his job. He’s an energy guy,” said head coach Kelvin Sampson after the game. “It’s his greatest strength.”
Houston led 41-27 at halftime after senior guard L.J. Cryer knocked down a three as time expired. Cryer led the way in the first half with 12 points.
