Junior center Chris Harris Jr. posts career-high 13 points to lead five Cougars in double digits
HOUSTON – University of Houston junior center Chris Harris Jr. posted a career-high 13 points as one of five players to reach double digits in leading the Cougars to an 82-55 win over Northwestern State inside H&PE Arena on Monday in a game presented by Maintenance Supply Headquarters.
Competing in Houston's third game in the Men Against Breast Cancer Cougar Cup, Harris connected on 6-of-8 shots from the field and added five rebounds – including four offensive – with two blocks as the Cougars won their third straight game to open the 2018-19 season and their 18th straight home game dating back to last year.
With 18 consecutive home wins, Houston moved into a tie with Charleston for the nation's second-longest active home winning streak, trailing only South Dakota State (23).
For the third straight game, junior guard Armoni Brooks led the Cougars in scoring, posting 16 points with four 3-pointers, and added five rebounds and three assists. Senior guard and Preseason All-American Athletic Conference selection Corey Davis Jr., and senior guard Landon Goesling added 13 points apiece, while senior point guard Galen Robinson Jr. finished with 11 points, six rebounds and a game-high seven assists without a turnover.
Davis hit 5-of-8 shots from the field in the second half, including 3-of-6 from behind the arc. The Lafayette, La., native has drained at least one trey in 34 of his last 35 games.
Senior forward Breaon Brady and redshirt freshman forward Cedrick Alley Jr. tied for game-high honors with eight rebounds each
Houston broke open a close game at halftime with a 14-0 run early in the second half to win their third straight game against the Demons in the all-time series. The Cougars outrebounded NSU 41-34 in the game with 17 offensive boards and forced 15 NSU turnovers with only five giveaways of their own.
No Northwestern State player reached double-digit points with John Norvel coming off the bench to lead the team with eight rebounds.
