L.J. Cryer Poised to Make NCAA History in Houston's Title Bid

The Houston guard could become the first player to win national championships with two different schools in tonight's NCAA final against Florida.

L.J. Cryer, now Houston's leading scorer, previously won a national title with Baylor in 2021, though he played a limited role as a freshman.
Cryer has been instrumental in Houston's NCAA Tournament run, delivering standout performances, including 30 points against Gonzaga and 26 against Duke.
The fifth-year guard's journey reflects the impact of the transfer portal, enabling players to seek new opportunities and redefine their roles.
Houston coach Kelvin Sampson emphasized accountability and defensive improvement in Cryer's development, transforming him into a more complete player.
If Houston wins tonight, Cryer will become the first player in NCAA history to secure championships with two different schools, a feat he calls 'special.'
