The Cougars and Fighting Irish are competing in the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas
Day two of the Players Era Festival tips off at 3 p.m. CT with Oregon vs. San Diego State and wraps up with Houston vs. Notre Dame at 11:30 p.m. CT. It's safe to say this will be the latest tipoff most of Houston's players have ever experienced.
Houston had a chance to beat Alabama at the buzzer, but LJ Cryer's 15-footer rimmed out. The Cougars ran out of gas in overtime, in large part because they had to play without starting guards Milos Uzan and Emanuel Sharp, who fouled out in the second half. Uzan was in foul trouble the entire game and only played 12 minutes.
In a physical, scrappy game, the Cougars did not get a friendly whistle. Houston was called for 30 personal fouls, including 19 from its starters. LJ Cryer, who finished with a game-high 30 points, was the only Houston starter who wasn't in foul trouble. The fifth foul on Sharp was questionable, to say the least.
"We've got a lot of guys who can play better than they're playing," Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said after the game. Notre Dame is coming off a draining loss of its own. The Fighting Irish lost to Rutgers 85-84 in overtime in a game that ended well after midnight Eastern Time. Senior guard Matt Allocco, a Princeton transfer, led Notre Dame with 24 points . He hit a game-tying three with 8 seconds left to send the game into overtime, then hit three consecutive 3-pointers with less than 41 seconds left in OT to nearly pull out the win. His deep 3-pointer at the OT buzzer just missed.
