Freshman guard Kingston Flemings and senior guard Emanuel Sharp post 19 points apiece

HOUSTON (AP) – Freshman guard Kingston Flemings had 19 points and nine assists, senior guard Emanuel Sharp scored 19 points and the top-ranked University of Houston Men's Basketball team routed Oakland 78-45 on Wednesday evening inside Fertitta Center.

Flemings was 8-of-12 from the floor, and Sharp shot 7-of-13, including 5-of-9 on 3-pointers, for Houston (3-0). The Cougars shot 45% and were 9-of-31 on 3-pointers.

Flemings and Sharp each had 11 points in the first half and shot a combined 8-of-16 from the field as the Cougars led 39-17 at the half.

Houston's freshman forward Chris Cenac Jr. finished with 11 points. The Cougars outrebounded the Grizzlies 46-32 and held a 40-20 advantage in points in the paint.

With Wednesday's win, the Cougars recorded their 20^th straight non-conference home game of allowing 60 points or fewer. That is 14 games longer than any other active streak by an NCAA Division I team.

It trails only a 24-game run by Air Force from January 2003 to November 2006 as the longest streak over the last 35 seasons.

Isaac Garrett had 20 points and seven rebounds, and Nassim Mashhour added nine points for Oakland (0-3). The Grizzlies shot 31%.

Oakland started the season with losses to then-No. 7 Michigan (121-78) on Nov. 3 and then-No. 1 Purdue (87-77) on Friday before facing the Cougars.

Houston jumped to an 8-0 lead on a 3-pointer by Sharp just over a minute into the game, and the Cougars extended the lead to 21-8 on another 3-pointer by Sharp with 12 minutes left in the first half.
