CINCINNATI — The Cougars fell apart in the second half of Houston’s 64-62 loss Saturday night at Fifth Third Arena at Cincinnati, but head coach Kelvin Sampson had one thing on his mind afterward.
“Let’s address the bite,” a baffled Sampson said, referring to junior guard DeJon Jarreau’s ejection late in the game after he allegedly bit a Cincinnati player while diving for a loose ball. “There was no bite.”
Jarreau, before being tossed with a flagrant 2 foul, had five points, four rebounds and six assists for the Cougars.
“He’s our starting point guard,” Sampson said.
