ABOUT the COUGARS
Under Sampson's leadership, the Cougars return seven lettermen and two starters from its 2020-21 team, which compiled a 28-4 overall record, captured the American Athletic Conference Tournament championship, advanced to the NCAA Final Four for the sixth time in school history and for the first time in nearly four decades and finished among the Top-Six in both final national polls.
Houston was recently picked as the American Athletic Conference preseason favorite for the third consecutive season. After an All-Conference performance a year ago, junior guard Marcus Sasser earned a place on the Preseason All-Conference First Team.
