UH poised to end NCAA tourney drought as team enters conference play

UH reached double-digit win totals in non-conference play – which included impressive wins over Arkansas and Providence - for just the third time in the last 25 years. The only two losses to Drexel and LSU by a combined seven points.

The early-season performance has the Cougars climbing the RPI ladder, currently No. 62, with a chance to improve even more with two games apiece against ranked Wichita State and Cincinnati, and another two against SMU.
