Houston Cougars Head Coach Kelvin Sampson's press conference after Houston's 85-83 loss at SMU
#Coogs #GoCoogs #KelvinSampson #SMUMustangs Kelvin Sampson, Head Coach of the Houston Cougars men's basketball team, talks with the media after Houston's 85-83 road loss to the SMU Mustangs. With the loss, Houston is 20-3 overall and 9-1 in #AmericanHoops. SMU improves to 17-5 and 8-2. Coach Sampson comments on -- due to the lack of depth in the backcourt -- the difficulty Houston has when their starting guards get into early foul trouble. Houston's Kyler Edwards picked up his 4th foul with 12:05 remaining and Houston ahead 68-55. Edwards went to the bench. SMU scored 9 consecutive points with Edwards on the bench. Coach Sampson is not sad about the loss. He's proud of his team's effort. He mentions he thought his guards were passive against SMU's 1-3-1 defense. Overall, Coach Sampson is disappointed Houston lost; but, considering Houston's limited depth in the backcourt, Coach Sampson says a 20-3 overall record and 9-1 in conference is still very good for his Houston team. After shooting 7 for 11 threes in the first half, Houston made 1 of 8 threes in the second half.
