Kelvin Sampson Reveals Unexpected Reason for Pride After Heartbreaking Loss to Kansas
Houston gave it their all Monday night at Allen Fieldhouse, but the scoreboard favored Kansas in a 69-56 finish that left the Cougars short-handed despite their grit.

There’s a fire burning in Houston, and Saturday’s clash with Colorado is the next proving ground. LEARN MORE
