Cougars tip off vs. Mavericks at 7 p.m., Wednesday, inside Fertitta Center
HOUSTON – The University of Houston Men's Basketball program begins a three-game home stand when it meets UT Arlington at 7 p.m., Wednesday, inside the Fertitta Center.
The Cougars (5-2) enter this week's game riding a three-game winning streak after Sunday's 76-56 road win at South Carolina. For the second straight game, sophomore guard Quentin Grimes led all players with 24 points – scoring 16 of Houston's 19 points in one stretch early in the second half – and added four rebounds, three assists and a steal in the Cougars' first win in Columbia, S.C.
Coupled with his 21-point, 5-rebound effort at Texas State, Grimes was honored Monday as the American Athletic Conference Player of the Week, a first in his career.
This season, Grimes ranks second in The American with 17.9 points per game and stands sixth with 3.6 assists per contest. He is the only player to rank among the league's Top-6 leaders in both categories.
Sophomore guard Nate Hinton ranks second among the Cougars with 12.0 points per game but leads the team and stand third in the league with 9.1 rebounds per game. The Gastonia, N.C., native ranks among the league's Top-7 leaders in both offensive and defensive rebounding.
After grabbing a career-eight 10 rebounds – including a game-high six offensive – in Sunday's win at South Carolina, junior forward Brison Gresham moved into eighth in the league with 2.6 offensive boards per contest.
