Wednesday was Kingston’s ninth career game with 20+ points (third in a row).
Emanuel made two three-pointers in Fort Worth and has 266 in his career, now just 10 behind Sasser for the all-time three-point record at Houston.
With his 23 points, Emanuel Sharp moved past consensus All-American Marcus Sasser and UH’s first-ever All-American Gary Phillips into 15th place on the all-time scoring list at UH. With 17 more points, he will vault to 13th all-time.
UH players get to sign the rebounding bubble every time they hit 10 rebounds in a game. Chris Cenac Jr. had 14 against TCU, meaning he will sign it for the eighth time in his 20 career games. He is 10th all-time in rebounds by a freshman with 158, trailing school record holder Clyde Drexler by 156.
In Big 12 games, Houston leads the conference in FT shooting at .803. UH has gone to the line nearly 10 fewer times a game than Arizona. In eight games, Arizona has made 65 more free throws than Houston, accounting for almost all of the scoring margin between the No. 1 team in the league (Arizona 88.5 ppg) and Houston (No. 5, 79.7 ppg).
Houston is No. 6 in KenPom, meaning they are a projected two-seed. If it held until the end of the season, sixth would be UH’s worst KenPom ranking since COVID.
