No. 14 Houston bounces back from 2 losses, beats UCF 70-52

HOUSTON (AP) — Taze Moore had 14 points and seven rebounds, Fabian White Jr. added 12 points, and No. 14 Houston snapped a two-game losing streak with a 70-52 win over Central Florida on Thursday night.

Jamal Shead chipped in 12 points and eight assists, and Kyler Edwards finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists for the Cougars (21-4, 10-2 American Athletic Conference). Houston shot 44% but struggled from behind the arc, going 7 of 23.

“They zoned us tonight,” Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. “I thought our shot selection was outstanding. … We had a couple maybe, but for the most part, I don’t think we took but one bad 3, and that got blocked.
