Houston Cougars Unleash Total Annihilation on Utah Leaving Fans Speechless

Milos Uzan scored 14 points and LJ Cryer added 13 as No. 7 Houston mauled visiting Utah 70-36 in Big 12 play on Wednesday night. J'Wan Roberts had 11 points and Terrance Arceneaux added 10 as the Cougars (15-3, 7-0) continued their dominance in the conference. Houston's stifling defense held Utah to just 36 points, the lowest total by a Houston opponent this season.

The Cougars' 11th straight victory marked their longest winning streak of the season, and they remain undefeated in Big 12 play. Houston's dominant performance was a testament to their balanced offense and tenacious defense, which has been the hallmark of their success this season.

Uzan, a key contributor to Houston's offense, was efficient from the field, making 5 of 10 shots, including 2 of 5 from 3-point range. Cryer, meanwhile, was instrumental in stretching Utah's defense with his outside shooting, making 3 of 7 from beyond the arc.

Roberts and Arceneaux provided a strong presence in the paint, combining for 21 points and 10 rebounds. Their interior scoring and rebounding helped to neutralize Utah's big men and limited their opportunities for second-chance points.

Houston's defense was suffocating, holding Utah to just 26.7% shooting from the field and 18.2% from 3-point range. The Cougars' pressure defense forced Utah into committing 15 turnovers, which led to 18 points for Houston.

The Cougars' victory over Utah marked their seventh consecutive win in conference play, and they remain in first place in the Big 12 standings. With their win, Houston solidified their position as one of the top teams in the conference and reinforced their case for a high seed in the NCAA Tournament.

As the season progresses, Houston will look to continue their winning ways and make a deep run in the postseason. With their balanced offense and stifling defense, the Cougars are certainly a team to watch in the coming weeks.
