UH women’s basketball coaching staff relied on culture in chaotic season

In a year as tough as the COVID-19 season, the Houston women’s basketball program has had to look for cheerful moments any way possible.

From cracking jokes at breakfast before practice to sharing about their struggles, the coaching staff has relied on each other and their players to turn these times of uncertainty into times of triumph.

The Cougars had their best season in years, finishing 15-6 and 12-5 against the American Athletic Conference. They were perfect through February, which included taking down No. 13 South Florida. The highest-ranked opponent UH defeated in 17 years.
