has been way more than expected for the Coogs and already looks like a seasoned veteran on the court, leading Houston to its 4-0 record. As the Cougars set their sites on the Broncs, follow along below for live updates as the action unfolds.
Houston Cougars guard Kingston Flemings takes a jump shot over Auburn Tigers forward KeShawn Murphy as Auburn Tigers take on the Houston Cougars at Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Ala. on Sunday, Nov. 16, 2025. Houston Cougars lead Auburn Tigers 39-35 at halftime. / Jake Crandall/ Advertiser / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Flemings has been on fire for Houston, averaging 17.3 points per game, 3.5 rebounds and 5.3 assists as a true freshman. The Coogs have a host of freshmen with tons of talent and many that have already made an impact.. "These guys were in high school last year. I thought they handled, whether it was the whistle or the crowd." Rider has had a rough start to its season, falling to 1-3 early with losses to Virginia, Rutgers and Texas. Houston Looks to be the fourth team to add to the Broncs’ loss column. Ahead of the season, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein said Houston’s youth would be a major challenge, something the team seems to be overcoming quite easily. “A major reason why Houston was able to be in those situations, and a major reason why Houston has been a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament in the last three years, is because Houston hasn’t just been exceptionally well-coached, not just because Houston has been the toughest team in the sport, it’s because Houston was old. It’s because Houston was seasoned. It’s because Houston was experienced," Rothstein said. ”Kelvin Sampson, pound-for-pound may be the best coach in college basketball, has always valued experience,” Rothstein continued. “Kelvin Sampson, like many coaches in college basketball, has always done his best work with older, more experienced players.” Sampson has made it work with his young talent, but if he can pull off a National Championship win with this squad it may be the most impressive season of his career. Rider will be a perfect opportunity for the Cougars to continue to find the rotations that work best.
