Sasser, Grimes shine in UH’s dominant exhibition win

Houston demolished Angelo State 106-42 on Saturday afternoon at the Fertitta Center in UH’s lone exhibition game behind the efforts of guards Marcus Sasser and Nate Hinton.

Sasser, a freshman native of Red Oak, dropped 17 points for the Cougars, while the sophomore Hinton scored a game-high 18.

The Cougars pounced on the Rams from the opening tip, starting the game on a 13-2 run that began with a hook shot from redshirt junior center Brison Gresham.

The lead quickly ballooned up to a twenty-point cushion, and it was 61-25 by halftime.

The second half was no different for the Cougars, starting with a 17-0 run that put them ahead of the Rams by 53 points.
