ABOUT the COUGARS
In 2024-25, the Cougars set a school single-season record with 35 wins and advanced to the NCAA Tournament National Championship Game before falling to Florida inside Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

Houston, which finished #2 in both national polls, won 31 of its final 33 games to end the season and advanced to the NCAA Final Four for the seventh time in program history – and the second time under Sampson – with a resounding 69-50 win over #6/6 (2) Tennessee during the NCAA Elite Eight in Indianapolis on March 30.

The Cougars swept the Big 12 regular-season and tournament championships in their second year in the league and set school and league records with a 19-1 mark in conference games. Houston became the first school to join a major conference and win the regular-season title in each of its first two years in the league in more than 100 years.

Houston posted a perfect 10-0 record in road games in Big 12 play, becoming the first program in NCAA Division I history to accomplish that feat in a season, and enters the 2025-26 season with the nation's longest active road winning streak at 14 straight games.

Houston returns three starters and seven lettermen in 2025-26, including All-Big 12 Conference honoree and Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team member Milos Uzan, Phillips 66 Big12 Championship Most Outstanding Player and NCAA Midwest Regional Most Outstanding Player guard Emanuel Sharp and Naismith Awards National Defensive Player of the Year presented by MOLECULE finalist Joseph Tugler.

The Cougars will be boosted with the addition one of the nation's top recruiting classes with freshman forward Chris Cenac Jr., freshman guard Isiah Harwell, freshman point guard Kingston Flemings, freshman guard Bryce Jackson and senior forward Kalifa Sakho.

In addition to their on-court accomplishments, the Cougars also excelled in the classroom during the 2024-25 season. With a team cumulative grade-point average higher than 3.0, Houston received the National Association of Basketball Coaches Team Academic Excellence Award while guard LJ Cryer was named to the NABC Honors Court.

Cryer was named to the NABC Honors Court after posting a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or higher while doing post-baccalaureate work in health.

This marked the third straight season in which a Cougar was named to the NABC Honors Court. Guard Ryan Elvin was honored following the 2023-24 season and was joined on the 2022-23 Honors Court by center Darius Bowser.
