Overview

  • Houston's Milos Uzan led the Cougars with 22 points, including a decisive late-game three-pointer, as they defeated Texas Tech 69-61.
  • The win guarantees Houston at least a share of the Big 12 regular-season title, with a chance to claim it outright depending on Arizona's result against Utah or their next game against Cincinnati.
  • Texas Tech struggled offensively in the second half, including a stretch of 12 missed shots and over nine minutes without a field goal.
  • Houston improves to 16-1 in conference play and remains in contention for a No. 1 regional seed in the NCAA Tournament for the third straight year.
  • This marks Houston's 13th consecutive Big 12 road win, extending their record in a hostile Lubbock environment featuring a packed crowd.
