| Transcript | Coogs Clinch 2nd SWC Title Young led all scorers with 22 points and Franklin and Olajuwon were both in double figures as the Coogs hit 59.6 percent from the floor and protected their 32-game winning streak at home. Young was involved in an automobile accident February 21 but suffered only minor bruises. He played against Rice three days later and led the team to a 70-54 win for its 37th straight SWC victory. The Hogs were next as the Cougars played both regular season games with Arkansas on two consecutive Sundays. UH was ranked third in the nation and Arkansas 11th. Arkansas came into the game with a 21-4 record and a recent victory over North Carolina, the nation's No. 1 team. Houston needed the first game to avoid a possible showdown the following Sunday for the SWC championship. The Hogs ran out to an early 18-9 lead while the Cougars committed 12 turnovers in the first 20 minutes. Houston fought back to within one point early in the second half as Franklin contributed 12 of his 14 points. It was his 20-foot jumpshot with 8:56 to play that put the Cougars on top to stay. UH won 64-61. Young and Derek Giles played their final game in Hofheinz Pavilion February 29 as the Coogs clinched the conference crown with an 80-65 win over the cellar-dwelling Bears. UH started off strong, building a 29-8 lead and holding the Bears to a dismal 32 percent from the floor. Baylor cut the lead to 11 near the end of the half, but could get no closer. The final game with Arkansas was anti- climatic. The only significance being the Cougars' 39-game SWC winning streak. The Hogs closed the book on the streak however, winning 73-68. — Brian Allen 106 — Houstonian |
