MANHATTAN, Kan. - The University of Houston women's basketball team closes out a season-long four-game road trip on Friday and Saturday at the Commerce Bank Wildcat Classic in Manhattan, Kan.
The Cougars are 1-3, having dropped a game Wednesday night to Creighton, 76-59, in Omaha, Neb. The Cougars are led by Sha'Ratta Hawkins (18.8 ppg/3.0 spg) and Ryan Meyers (10.0 ppg/7.3 rpg).
Hawkins had her second 20-point game of the season against CU on Wednesday, tallying a game-high 23 points.
UH faces off against Saint Joseph's at 3 p.m. CST on Friday and will face either the host Wildcats or Texas Pan-American on Saturday at either 3 p.m. (Championship) or 5 p.m. (Consolation).
The Breakdown ...
• UH is attempting to replace four starters and eight letterwinners from a year ago. See how they rank in terms of numbers against their opponents.
• The Cougars have used two different starting lineups thus far this season with varying degrees of success.
• Freshman Sha'Ratta Hawkins has been impressive in her first four collegiate games, leading UH in scoring.
• Sophomore Ryan Meyers is averaging nearly a double-double this year.
• UH is trying to avoid its worst start to a season since 1999-2000. That year, the Cougars started 2-8 in their first 10 games and went on to finish the campaign at 7-21 (3-13 C-USA).
• The Cougars return home for the first time in nearly a month on Dec. 10 with a scheduled matchup with West Virginia at 5:30 p.m. in Hofheinz Pavilion.
