HOUSTON – The University of Houston Men's Basketball program tips off its 2019-20 season when it plays host to Angelo State in an exhibition game, beginning at 5 p.m., Saturday, inside the Fertitta Center.

Saturday will be a busy day in the Fertitta Center with Houston Women's Basketball facing Southeastern Louisiana at 1 p.m. Regular game-day pricing will be in effect for the Women's game. Admission to the Men's game is open to all fans, who claim a ticket for free admittance to the game.

Under the leadership of two-time, defending American Athletic Conference Coach of the Year Kelvin Sampson, the Cougars return seven student-athletes and two starters from last year's team, which set a school record with 33 wins, captured the American Athletic Conference regular-season championship by two games and advanced to the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 for the first time since 1984.

Junior guard DeJon Jarreau returns after being named The American Sixth Man of the Year, while sophomore guard Nate Hinton was selected as a member of The American All-Freshmen Team a year ago.

Junior guard Quentin Grimes highlights four newcomers to the team in 2019-20. Grimes recently received a waiver from the NCAA after starting 36 games with Kansas last season. He will be joined by freshman guard Marcus Sasser, freshman forward J'Wan Roberts and sophomore guard Cameron Tyson, who will sit out this season as a redshirt after transferring from Idaho.

Saturday's game will be the first of 17 home games inside the Fertitta Center. A year ago, the Cougars posted a 19-1 record with wins in 33 consecutive games in their home facility dating back to 2017 at one point
