Houston Tip-Off Time Set for Saturday
11/4/2018 11:43:00 AM | Men's Basketball
Cougars to face Bulldogs at 2 p.m., Saturday, inside H&PE Arena
HOUSTON – With the finalizing of Houston Football's kickoff time vs. Temple, the University of Houston Men's Basketball set its time for its 2018-19 season opener against Alabama A&M.
The Cougars will face the Bulldogs for the first time in school history at 2 p.m., Saturday, inside H&PE Arena.
Houston Football fans can show their football tickets at the TSU Box Office on Saturday afternoon and receive FREE admission to the Basketball game. The TSU Box Office opens at 12:30 p.m., Saturday.
Saturday's Men's Basketball game will be the first of a school-record 20 regular-season home games during the 2018-19 campaign under the leadership of 2018 American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year Kelvin Sampson. Houston will play Alabama A&M (Nov. 10), Rice (Nov. 14) and Northwestern State (Nov. 19) as part of the Men against Breast Cancer Cougar Cup before taking on UT Rio Grande Valley on Nov. 28, all inside H&PE Arena.
On Dec. 1, the Cougars open a new era when they play host to No. 14/16 Oregon in the first game inside the $60-million Fertitta Center. The facility was made possible by a generous $20-million donate from University of Houston System Board of Regents Chairman Tilman J. Fertitta and his family.

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.
