The Cougars defeated the USF Bulls in a 68-49 rout, which was fueled by a stifling defense that held USF to the lowest point-total a Houston opponent has scored this season, on Sunday afternoon at Fertitta Center.
“Sometimes we don’t shoot the ball well, it looks you’re not playing good,” head coach Kelvin Sampson said. “That (for Sunday’s game) cannot be further from the truth. We played good today. We didn’t make a lot of shots, but we did a lot of good things.”
Outside of the strong defensive performance, the Cougars did a great job of taking care of the ball, committing only nine turnovers in the game.
