UH Students Invited to Join The Cage in Fertitta Center

HOUSTON – As the University of Houston Men's Basketball program moves closer to the 2025-26 season, UH students are invited to join The Cage, the official student section for the Cougars.

As a part of The Cage, UH students will do more than cheer on the Cougars inside Fertitta Center on game day. The Cage students will serve as ambassadors for Houston Basketball and spread game-day awareness across campus and beyond.

The Cage students will have opportunities to share feedback to make Houston's home-court advantage even stronger and will enjoy exclusive experiences and insider update on the Men's Basketball program.

To join The Cage, UH students should visit this page and complete and submit the form at the bottom of the page.

ABOUT the COUGARS
In 2024-25, the Cougars set a school single-season record with 35 wins and advanced to the NCAA Tournament National Championship Game inside Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.

Houston returns three starters and seven lettermen in 2025-26, including Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship Most Outstanding Player and NCAA Midwest Regional Most Outstanding Player guard Emanuel Sharp, All-Big 12 Conference honoree and Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team member Milos Uzan, and Naismith Awards National Defensive Player of the Year presented by MOLECULE finalist Joseph Tugler.

The Cougars will be boosted with the addition one of the nation's top recruiting classes with freshman forward Chris Cenac Jr., freshman guard Isiah Harwell, freshman point guard Kingston Flemings, freshman guard Bryce Jackson and senior forward Kalifa Sakho.

Houston, which finished #2 in both national polls, won 31 of its final 33 games to end the season and advanced to the NCAA Final Four for the seventh time in program history – and the second time under Sampson – with a resounding 69-50 win over #6/6 (2) Tennessee during the NCAA Elite Eight in Indianapolis on March 30.

The Cougars swept the Big 12 regular-season and tournament championships in their second year in the league and set school and league records with a 19-1 mark in conference games. Houston became the first school to join a major conference and win the regular-season title in each of its first two years in the league in more than 100 years.

Houston posted a perfect 10-0 record in road games in Big 12 play, becoming the first program in NCAA Division I history to accomplish that feat in a season, and enters the 2025-26 season with the nation's longest active road winning streak at 14 straight games.
