Unexpected Alliances: How Cougars and Volunteers Are Changing the Game and Surprising Everyone
The Cougars had a bit of a scare yesterday, and that could come into play today because Houston had to use their legs a bit more than normal, playing in overtime as well. So far, Houston is 6-0, and they are the third ranked team in the nation. Keep in mind, this is a program that made it to the National Championship last season, but they’ve somewhat had to rebuild their team. This will be their third game away from home, and in the first two, they haven’t looked quite as poised. The first game was against Auburn. In fairness to the Cougars, the game against Auburn was technically a neutral-site game, but it was played in Alabama. I’m pretty sure that crowd had a clear rooting favorite. Either way, the Cougars escaped with a 1-point victory. Yesterday, Sryacuse had a chance to take down the Cougars. It was back-and-forth for most of the game, but Houston did pull away from Syracuse, going up 11 points with around three minutes left. Houston kept turning the ball over, leading to easy buckets for the Orange. Houston pulled it out in overtime.
