Sampson: ‘we disrespected our program’ in loss to Oklahoma State

Head coach Kelvin Sampson was not happy after Houston’s 61-55 loss Sunday afternoon at Fertitta Center to Oklahoma State.

“Very rarely do you see a team come in here and outcompete us,” he said afterwards, “and I think that’s the thing that bothers me the most.”

The Cougars saw their four-game winning streak come to an end after Houston was unable to overcome an atrocious first-half performance and fell short despite a monster rally in the second half.

“Losing a game, I’m not a fan, but I don’t overreact to losing a game. But the way we lost that game today, we were down 18, and we came back and tied it,” Sampson said.
