The Cougars are enjoying a four-game winning streak, but they are still far from a finished product.
A big weakness in the past couple of games, head coach Kelvin Sampson said after Houston’s win over UT-Arlington, have been the giveaways they have been gifting to their opponents.
“Turnovers and fouls, that’s it,” he said following the 71-63 UH victory. “Our guards’ composure tonight, poor. I saw some passes tonight that in 30-something years of coaching I had never seen before.”
Against the Mavericks on Wednesday night, the Cougars had 16 turnovers, which led to 14 points for UTA in a game where they struggled to put the ball in the basket, shooting only 28.
