Houston Cougars dominate Utah Utes behind Emmanuel Sharp's record-breaking shooting display—does this squad have the most relentless defense in the Big 12? Parker Ainsworth spotlights Houston’s 66-52 road win, as Sharp drops 27 points and becomes the Cougars’ all-time leading three-point shooter. With Big 12 road battles and Sampson’s defensive schemes at center stage, the Cougars find ways to win even when star Kingston Flemings isn’t scoring in bunches.

Key topics include Houston’s defensive efficiency, forced turnovers, and the challenge of consecutive road games in hostile environments. Ainsworth dissects Milos Uzan’s elite guard defense, potential late-season hurdles against Iowa State and Kansas, and what makes this Cougar roster special even when the offense hits bumps. Dive into the legacy of Emmanuel Sharp and the team’s trajectory as they push for Big 12 glory—can Houston sustain their dominance away from home and chase a championship run?
