Junior guard Quentin Grimes was clicking on all levels Wednesday night, as he scored a season-high 29 points to power Houston to an 82-65 victory over USF.
UH was blazing hot from the field to start the game, hitting 10 of its first 12 shots to jump ahead early. USF also shot the ball well early on as the teams combined for 46 points and both the Cougars and Bulls shot above 60 percent from the field through the first 10 minutes of play.
A 3:30 cold streak in which the Cougars did not make a field goal allowed the Bulls to erase the narrow deficit and tie the game up at 25 and then 27 with just under seven minutes remaining in the first half.
