Not that they necessarily needed it, but the Cougars got a lucky break there.
J’Wan Roberts appeared to foul Jahmai Mashack when going for an offensive rebound that resulted in a L.J. Cryer floater to increase Houston’s lead back up to 15. Had it been called, it would have been Roberts’ fourth foul, likely sending him to the bench.
Rick Barnes was still yelling about the call to the officials as the game headed for a media timeout.
