UTEP’s Williams ‘best player’ Houston has faced all season

Houston will look to bounce back from their loss to Oklahoma State when they host UT-El Paso on Thursday night at the Fertitta Center.

The Miners come to Houston with a strong 8-1 record with their only loss of the season coming in a three-point defeat to New Mexico State.

“The best player we’ve played all year will be Bryson Williams from UTEP,” head coach Kelvin Sampson said. “We haven’t played (anyone) better I think.”

The 6-foot-8-inch junior forward from Fresno leads the Miners in three different categories with 19.9 points, 7 rebounds and almost a block a game.
