February 28th and 29th

Houston @ UConn (1:00)

That was a very nice win for Houston to get to 21-8 overall and 11-6 in the conference. Monster game from Damyen Dotson, who finished with 22 points and fourteen boards.

Hope the recently completed football season is followed by an equally successful hoops season.
