#7 Houston Dominates Baylor For Program Record Road Win Streak
1/9/2026 5:05:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Five Cougars tally double-digit points in rout of Bears
WACO, Texas (AP) – Senior guard Emanuel Sharp scored 17 points to lead five players in double figures for the No. 7 University of Houston Men's Basketball team in a 77-55 win at Baylor on Saturday afternoon inside Foster Pavilion.
The Cougars (15-1, 3-0 Big 12) set a school record with their 16th consecutive road win.
Junior forward Joseph Tugler had 12 points and 11 rebounds for his second double-double in a row for defending Big 12 champion and national runner-up Houston. Freshman guard Isiah Harwell added 12 points, while true freshman forward Chris Cenac had 11 and freshman guard Kingston Flemings tallied 10 points.
The Cougars haven't lost a true road game since at No. 8 Kansas on Feb. 3, 2024. That road winning streak is the longest active run in the country, with all of them Big 12 games for a league record.
Cameron Carr had 18 points for Baylor (10-5, 0-3), and Tounde Yessoufou had 10.
Houston missed 10 shots in a row over a 5 1/2-minute span early, then had another 0-for-10 span in the final 6 1/2 minutes of the first half. But the Cougars took control of the game with a 23-3 run in the six minutes between those droughts.
Sharp and Harwell both had two 3-pointers in that big spurt. The Cougars trailed 14-6 before Sharp ignited that run, and a 3 by Harwell put them ahead to stay. The lead was 29-17 after Tugler's dunk off a Baylor turnover with 6:34 left. That was their last field goal of the half, when they still led 33-26 before a 13-3 run to start the second half.
The Cougars shot 39.2% overall (29 of 74) from the field, with only five turnovers and 23 offensive rebounds. They scored 31 points off 16 turnovers by Baylor, which got 33 fewer shots.
