HOUSTON – Winners of 20 straight home games and their first six overall to open the 2018-19 season, the University of Houston Men's Basketball team returns to action at 7 p.m., Tuesday, inside the new Fertitta Center.

The Cougars enter this week's home game on the heels of a historic night on the University of Houston campus. Houston opened the $60-million Fertitta Center in impressive style, taking a 65-61 win over No. 18/21 Oregon behind junior guard Armoni Brooks' 22 points and nine rebounds.

The Cougars played in front of a sell-out crowd of 7,039 and jumped out to a 33-13 lead in the first half against the Ducks.

This season, Brooks ranks second on the team with 15.3 points per game but leads the Cougars with 6.3 rebounds per contest after averaging 10.5 boards per game in a pair of wins last week. For his impressive play, he was honored Monday as the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week.

Senior guard and Preseason All-American Athletic Conference selection Corey Davis Jr. leads the Cougars with 18.7 points per game and ranks second on the team with 4.2 assists per game.
