| Transcript | "Steady, it's rolling!", Gary Phillips (54) seems to be telling teammate Bill Hathaway. To St. Louis the Red and White traveled only to take a twenty point whipping, 76-46. But, the Houston team was determined for a win before returning to the Lone Star State. Meeting Drake on their home court, the Big Reds edged a win 56-55. Oklahoma City dropped a non-conference contest 80-73, before a capacity crowd at Jeppesen Field House. Facing Miami on their Florida court, the Houston Cougars pulled their second straight non-conference win 88-79. In the third non-conference game Loyola, Louisiana, won 63-61. The Cougars dropped their third conference loss to Wichita, the same squad who handed them their first conference defeat in January. The score was 74-65. Back to non-conference play, the UH Cougars traveled to Oklahoma City where they won 80-69. Returning to home courts, the Cougars entertained Sam Houston and soundly defeated them 92-53 before going back on the road. The Cougars then tackled Cincinnati, the number one team in the nation, and held the score to a very respectable 67-55. Following suit, the U. of H. five then met second rated team in the nation, Bradley, and were defeated 78-57. Still on the road, the Cougars suffered their third straight loss as they battled Tulsa to a 59-58 squeaker. In their final out-of-town conference game the Cougars broke their losing streak by trouncing North Texas 86-64. Back on their home court, the Cougars employed a man-toman defense against Cincinnati as Gary Phillips limited Cincinnati's Oscar Robertson's points. But the Eastern team was victorious in the end as they defeated the Cougars 57-47. 328 |
