Force force defense bellows No. 6 The winning streak of 13 Houston games

Gabe Madsen de Utah was limited to eight points in 3 of 10 shots against the Coupars. The UTES, which have scored at least 80 points 10 times this season, had 36 points, their lowest scoring production since 2011.

Richie Saunders of Byu achieved only nine points against Houston a game after scoring a 30 -against Arizona State record.

Houston, whose winning streak of the 18 Games League that comes out with last season is the second longest in the history of Big 12, is allowing 55.6 points per game, 2.4 points less than the next best defensive team, Drake. The opponents are shooting at a worst national of 36% from the field against the Coupars.

Houston began the season classified in number 4, but began 4-3 with extra time loss against the state of San Diego and Alabama number 4 in Las Vegas and a five-point loss against Auburn better classified.

Kelvin Sampson, who has been Houston coach since 2014, said the defense has been the bread and butter of the Couchars for almost a decade. He is especially proud that in this era of the transfer portal and the opportunities of name, image and likeness, he is able to teach the same players. Eight of Houston’s 10 best players returned this season, including four headlines.
