Cougars' Recent Roar


The Houston Cougars have been showcasing their strength and agility in recent games, marking themselves as a team to watch.

The Cougars demonstrated their offensive capabilities by maintaining a high field goal percentage and capitalizing on turnovers, which translated into points off turnovers. Their defensive game was equally impressive, with steals leading to fast break points and blocks that kept their opponents at bay.

The bench contributed impressively to the scoreline, indicating depth in the squad that could prove crucial against Kansas State.


Against Oklahoma State Cowboys, the team's defense shone through once more. The Cougars managed to limit their opponents' scoring opportunities while efficiently finding baskets themselves.
