It was a tough shooting game for Houston as the Cougars shot 26.8 percent from the field and were held to a season-low in points in their 50-38 loss to UCF Saturday afternoon at Fertitta Center.
Coming into the game, the Cougars had won their previous three games by a combined 70 points, but UH was unable to continue its recent dominance against the Knights.
After forcing 30 turnovers in their 80-46 thrashing of Temple on Wednesday, the Cougar defense was its usual self early against UCF, forcing 10 Knights turnovers and only allowing four points in the first quarter.
