Cougars lead the nation in scoring defense but are after more intensity
Temple Owls forward Nick Jourdain gets a plus-one as Houston Cougars forward Jarace Walker fouls him during the second half of an American Athletic Conference game Sunday, Jan. 22, 2023, at Fertita Center in Houston. The Houston Cougars lost to Temple Owls 56-55.The University of Houston leads the nation in scoring defense, allowing a stingy 53.4 points per game.
— UH players said intensity has been lacking for a program that has annually been among the best defensive teams in college basketball. “Not letting this person get off a certain number of 3s, not letting this person get to the free-throw line,” Roberts said. “That’s a ‘want’ thing. Going forward we need to be better at that.”
In seven conference games, UH is allowing an average of 60 points per game. That includes a season-high 77 points in a close win over USF. Sampson rated the Cougars’ defensive effort against Temple as “good, not great” and said he factored in “head-scratching” fouls in critical situations as defensive breakdowns. Temple was 20-of-22 from the free-throw line.
