HOUSTON — Ja’Vier Francis had career highs of 17 points and 15 rebounds, Marcus Sasser scored 17 points, and No. 5 Houston rebounded from its first loss with a 74-46 win over North Carolina A&T on Tuesday night.
“It was a great feeling to see the ball go in,” Sasser said. “My main focus going into this game was playing hard and trying to rebound and impact the game in different ways. I haven’t been shooting it well, so that wasn’t really my main focus going into this game. I just went there and played hard and good things happened. The ball started going into the goal.
“Houston is hard to score against,” North Carolina A&T coach Phillip Shumpert said. “They do that to everybody. Relentless pressure. One of the toughest teams in the country. I told our guys that if we can get to that point where we are playing that tough for 40 minutes and put our offense together with it, we will be a successful basketball team.”
