Sampson: Winning on the road is a challenge in NCAA

Head coach Kelvin Sampson held his weekly radio show on Monday evening, and he reiterated how difficult it is to win games on the road in the NCAA.

The Cougars remained ranked at No. 25 in the AP poll that was released on Monday morning following a week in which Houston defeated Tulsa at home and lost to Memphis on the road.

“(The reason Houston is still ranked) is because the people that make the polls know how hard it is to win on the road,” Sampson said.

The Cougars are 4-4 against the AAC away from Fertitta Center this season and have only one road game remaining in the regular season, which will be against UConn.
