The No. 7 Houston Cougars extended their winning streak to 11 games with a resounding 70-36 victory over the visiting Utah Utes in a Big 12 showdown on Wednesday night.
Milos Uzan and LJ Cryer led the charge for the Cougars, scoring 14 and 13 points respectively, as they dominated the Utes from start to finish.
J'Wan Roberts added 11 points to the tally, while Terrance Arceneaux chipped in with 10 points, as the Cougars improved their overall record to 15-3 and a perfect 7-0 in Big 12 play.
The Cougars' stifling defense held the Utes to a mere 36 points, their lowest output of the season, and limited them to a paltry 26% shooting from the field.
With this convincing win, the Cougars solidified their position as one of the top contenders in the Big 12 and sent a strong message to their opponents.
As the season heats up, the Cougars will look to continue their winning ways and make a deep run in the tournament.
The Utes, on the other hand, will need to regroup and refocus in order to bounce back from this disappointing loss.
With their sights set on the top spot in the Big 12, the Cougars will face their next challenge with confidence and determination.
