Houston Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson on winning Big 12: “We didn’t change anything. We didn’t do anything different. We believe in what we do. Jamal Shead was the point guard when we beat the Big Ten Champ Illinois. He was the point guard when we beat the Pac 12 champ Arizona…”
With 26 days to go till the Cougars kick-off the season against UTSA, here’s Brandon Wilson’s infamous kick-six against the Oklahoma Sooners at a sold-out NRG Stadium in 2016!

Houston Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson had high praise for big man Ja'Vier Francis following the Coogs' dominant win over West Virginia: "Ja'Vier is a really good player. He is the starting 5 man on a team that is ranked top 10 in the nation. Do you know how good you got to be..."

He has 5 catches for 65 yards and this touchdown in his preseason debut with the Houston Texans!
Something head coach Kelvin Sampson always touted about Reggie Chaney was his reliability. It is why Sampson called him the team’s identity player.
“Reggie’s attitude & his willingness to accept his role and still be that guy is something that I am very appreciative of.” RIP 🖤

This Houston Cougars team is so damn good. Five-guard lineup, four-guard lineup, two bigs, eight-man rotation, seven-man rotation, six-man rotation.
It doesn't matter. The Cougars are inevitable. Toughest team wins.
