Houston begins the American competition portion of the schedule on Friday when they host UCF at Fertitta Center, and head coach Kelvin Sampson is aware of the tough task that the conference will provide this season.
“I don’t have to look at (how good the American is), I know how good it is,” Sampson said. “I know how good Memphis is, I saw the kids they recruited.”
Sampson is most impressed with how deep the Tigers have proved that they are as they have not been drastically affected by the situation with freshman center James Wiseman in terms of wins to this point.
