Houston Game Times Set for Dec. 23 & Dec. 29 Games

HOUSTON – The University of Houston Men's Basketball program announced game times for two December home contests on its schedule.

The Cougars' Dec. 23 showdown against Coppin State and their Dec. 29 meeting against NJIT each will tip off at 3 p.m., inside the Ferittta Center. They will be two of Houston's school-record 20 regular-season home games this season.

UP NEXT
The Cougars take their first step in the 2018-19 season when they play host to Dallas Baptist at 7 p.m., Thursday, inside H&PE Arena on the campus of nearby Texas Southern University.

Fans will enjoy FREE admission and FREE parking for Thursday's exhibition opener against the Patriots. Doors and TSU Parking Garage open at 5:30 p.m., Thursday.

ABOUT the COUGARS
Houston returns seven student-athletes and three starters from the 2017-18 team, which finished second in The American, earned the program's first NCAA Tournament victory since 1984 and finished among the Top-25 in both final national polls for the first time in more than three decades.

Senior guard Corey Davis Jr. returns as the team's leading scorer after averaging 13.1 points per game and earning The American All-Tournament Team honors a year ago. The Lafayette, La., native became the fifth player in school history to sink 100+ 3-pointers in a single season and buried at least one trey in 29 straight games, the second longest streak in school history.

Senior point guard Galen Robinson Jr. paced the team and ranked among The American leaders with 3.7 assists per game. The Houston native and Westbury Christian product looks to become only the second player in school history with 100+ assists in four seasons during his collegiate career.

Junior guard Armoni Brooks enjoyed a breakthrough season to help lead the Cougars to NCAA postseason play and The American Championship title game. Averaging 9.3 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, Brooks was recognized as the league's Sixth Man of the Year.

The Cougars also welcome six newcomers to the program this season, including sophomore guard DeJon Jarreau and forward/center Brison Gresham, who previously played at UMass during the 2016-17 season, and senior guard Landon Goesling, an NCAA Division II All-Region performer at St. Edward's.
