The Houston Cougars have faired quite well in their first season in the Big 12 conference thus far. The team is 7-3 in conference play after upending Oklahoma State 79-63 at home on Tuesday night. The Cougars bounced back after losing just their third game of the season in a disappointing effort at Kansas on Saturday. Jamal Shead scored 23 points while Emanuel Sharp chipped in with 16 points as the Cougars cruised to victory despite losing their head coach, Kelvin Sampson, early in the second half. Sampson was ejected after disputing a non-call against the Cowboys. The ejection was his first as head coach of the Cougars.
“I have no thoughts,” Sampson said when asked about the incident and his thoughts. “So, if I say something, answer your question, they fine me $25,000, what part of the $25,000 are you willing to pay? So, don't ask me silly questions because it's a $25,000 fine if I tell the truth. So, I can&# 39;t, so don't ask me.”
