Dares Johnson loses Jamal shed and then Ibrahim andalo unable to secure the defensive rebound lucky to not have that turn into worse here’s the Home Run sellers ahead of the pack five seniors onon her tonight for UCF there’s the starting five CJ here’s Dio coming to get

It now it’s sharp to the goal he has it blocked and the crowd ignites here in Orlando sellers in transition we usually see him scoring the basketball able to meet Emanuel sharp up at The Rim up high clean crosscourt LJ CER his first shot oh cgar do not have their legs

Under them here in the opening minutes here’s [Applause] [Laughter] sers Houston has to settle down lock in and do what they’ve done all season get back to playing good quality basketball jump hook in the lane is off Roberts comes back to get it and Banks it in has

Entered the game here’s shed good screen roll and scored nicely done Javier Francis the fact that we don’t have a body to give a guy like a Jaan Roberts or JV Francis Mo rest oh what a block skying towards the rim was Omar Payne but put back in by Jawan Roberts and

Jamal shed the senior guard for the Houston couger getting up on his own Miss come the Cougars LJ CER and it tips and now Jamal shed oh great PP fake left it short though second try is up and in so it’s a it’s a pleasant sight to have that floor general leader that’s

Been at one school for so long yep he has been a constant how about the move by tiero silam Shamari Allen H now for the knights good physical Play Down low Dio once again backing the defender in oh great spin move when Dio receives this basketball look at the ground Javier

Francis just has to give up and finally the way they’ve been able to pull out some close wins in this league play in the Big 12 where we’ve seen a couple games they’ve had could have gone either way they found ways to get it done Darius Johnson stopping

Pop almost similar to a football player has to wear that club got to get used to it yep happened in that Oklahoma game on Saturday as the Cougars go downstairs once again and nice soft touch that time Jawan Roberts pointing to UCF and watch Jawan Roberts use only the left hand one

Hand on the ball still going to go into his motion touch it for a second one dribble two dribble up with the left again it’s an incredible 100% right no no he’s playing through it he’s toughing it out and not only is he giv a good effort he’s being effective and

Productive Darius Johnson beyond the three-point line and it goes down got it bottled up in the corner great ni trying to get it out of there and somehow they do right back Johnson goes for another he is failing it right now that’s why we’re seeing a bit of those

Short Closeouts from the Houston Cougars but like anything any game plan you always got to be ready to adjust shed just calmly gets to his spot absolutely even we spoke with Coach Samson today he said listen UCF has a lot of length got a lot of size they make it really

Challenging to find good looks on the offensive end oh CJ Walker Bringing Down the House Te You See look at this naked side ball screen no one from Houston rotates over you see jvier Fran stuck sticking to his man that’s his rotation but a big time Hammer let’s see how the Cougars answer

Roberts ISO he is a tough Mark oh what a move if it ain’t broke don’t fix it Jaan Roberts you keep going to that left hand until somebody decides to stop you smart basketball Walker matching it he is fir fired up right now in that match

Up so far Houston BJ 0 for seven shooting the three-point shot oh what a take by shed just nasty off the glass and UCF now seven of 11 at the line here in this first half back in the day but in recent memory they were not a highly touted

Program but he has completely erased that with what he’s been able to do great interior passing in the Finish By Francis there’s Johnson loses Jamal shed and then Ibrahim andalo unable to secure the defensive rebound lucky to not have that turn into worse here’s the Home Run sellers ahead of the

Pack had a game earlier this season against Texas where he put up 17 points and seven assists more than capable prer just came off Allen and the Knights two-on one now Shamari Allen to the cck saw the offensive rebounding story 11 to five in favor of the visiting team

Here’s CER it’s good three-pointer for LJ CER so Dio heads out of the game Johnny Dawkins talking to him right now on the sideline and Johnson comes up with another steal as he knocks it away from sharp here’s sers little stutter step right to the goal so Dio heads out of

The game Johnny doon’s talking to him right now on the sideline and Johnson comes up with another steal as he knocks it away from sharp here’s sers little stutter step right to the goal so Wilson is into the game he’s only 6’2 they lose Francis who’s 6’8

Much smaller right now with the Cougars right back up though and Jawan Roberts draws the contact Jamal shed UCF has given up too many second and third chances in this second half LJ CER strong nice move Houston has been playing uphill this this entire night thus

Far here’s CER sharp still trying to get on track and there it is look yep and right now this Houston offense taking a long time to figure out what they want to get into oh good screen roll shed with a gorgeous delivery to Francis so it’s good to see that he’s feeling

Well CER oh what a put back Javier Francis taking over the game right floor prer now with 13 points for the Cougars Walker hands to sellers Walker will fire for three CER again the runner this time finds the bottom they’re one of the best at getting the shot they want late with

Less than eight on the shot clock shed will take the shot oh it rattles in the friendly roll on the road never hurts Big Time shot from Jamal shed here’s Shamari Allen he’ll take it how about the follow tier NOA his last four minutes Drew are going to come down to execution and

Toughness LJ CER he has done it all night long for the number one team in the land hand and favoring it throughout but they have fought through it here’s Allen rather Darius Johnson two possession game here coming up 2 minutes keep an eye on CER here he is with it oh he sinks it again LJ CER and and and when you guarding a player like LJ C or a big time scorer like him got to stay on your toes Shamari Allen still

Gives the nights hope and I’d like to see Houston get back to the Jamal shed ball screen but they’re going to let LJ CER go one-on-one CER little fade away oh he’s doing it all here in the final minutes why they are the top team in the country

Crowd of cougars celebrating making the long trip here to Orlando 6759 and they are at least a share of Big 12 regular season Champions tonight winning on the road well we asked that halftime would the Houston Cougars come out and respond that’s exactly what they did they played

Just like you would expect one of the best basketball teams in all the college basketball to play in the second half Kelvin Samson mentioned how he’s just not comfortable as the number one team in the country he says everybody can beat us we are as vulnerable as can be

We try and take one at a time though and we try and stay Humble

Watch as the No. 1 Houston Cougars hold off the UCF Knights in their 67-59 win.
