Flemings, Sharp lead No. 7 Houston past Baylor 77-64

Kingston Flemings had 21 points and seven assists, Emanuel Sharp added 19 points and No. 7 Houston rallied for a 77-64 win over Baylor

MARCH 5 • Associated Press

Emanuel Sharp - Drains five from long range Sharp supplied 19 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound and three steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 77-64 victory over Baylor.

Impact Sharp connected on five triples and swiped three as the Cougars overcame a poor first half and pulled away late to take down the Bears. It was the fifth time this season Sharp has connected on at least five shots from downtown. Sharp entered the game having shot just 5-for-28 (17.9-percent) across his previous three games but he and the Cougars are hoping that this performance is a sign that he's rounding back into form in time for the postseason, with the Big 12 tournament starting up next week.

Joseph Tugler - Picking up production Tugler accumulated 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 77-64 win over Baylor.

Impact After failing to reach double figures on the scoreboard in nine of 10 games, Tugler has now posted 14 points in back-to-back contests. The junior forward came off the bench for the first time this season as Kalifa Sakho received the start on senior night. The Cougars are hoping this recent spark is a sign of things to come as Tugler has seen a precipitous drop in his production in recent weeks. Even with the success over the last two games, Tugler is averaging just 6.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 blocks across his last 12 games.

MARCH 4 • ROTOWIRE

Kingston Flemings - Leads way with 21 Flemings totaled 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 77-64 victory over Baylor.

Impact Flemings led the way offensively, tallying 21 points and dishing out seven dimes as the Cougars rebounded from a poor start to pull away from the Bears. The star freshman, who filled out the rest of his stat line with three boards, two steals and a block, reached the 20-point plateau for the 11th time this season and the sixth time in conference play, though it's just the second time in the last 10 that he's reached that mark. With just one game remaining prior to the conference tournament, Flemings is averaging 17.5 points, 5.5 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals against Big 12 competition.

Milos Uzan had 26 points and six assists, Joseph Tugler scored 14 and No. 5 Houston snapped its three-game losing streak with a 102-62 win over Colorado

FEBRUARY 28 • Associated Press

Mercy Miller - Sees expanded action in rout Miller contributed 10 points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and four steals in 24 minutes during Saturday's 102-62 win over Colorado.

Impact Miller saw 20-plus minutes for the third time this season and set new season-best marks in rebounds and steals while reaching double figures for the third time during the rout. The sophomore reserve wing had seen less than 10 minutes of action during 10 of the Cougars' first 13 conference games but over the past two has averaged 20.5 minutes, 9.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Milos Uzan - Leads Houston out of funk Uzan totaled 26 points (9-13 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, six assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 102-62 win over Colorado.

Impact Uzan put together his most efficient offensive output of the season, connecting on 69.2-percent of his shot attempts, including a season-best 5-for-7 from downtown, leading seven Cougars in double figures while matching a season high with 26 points during the rout. The senior guard added six assists with nary a turnover in helping Houston rebound from their first three-game losing streak in nine years. It was the first time in conference play Uzan has topped 20 points and the sixth time during the same stretch he's dished out at least five dimes.

Ramon Walker Jr. - Dealing with ankle injury Walker did not appear in Saturday's 102-62 win over Colorado due to an ankle injury, but he's expected to play in Wednesday's game against Baylor, Chris Baldwin of PaperCity Magazi...

Impact Walker hasn't taken the court in three straight games, but the ankle injury is a new issue as the senior rolled his ankle a few days ago. While he was unavailable Saturday, the expectation is that Walker will be healthy in time for senior night Wednesday. He's averaging 2.6 points and 2.2 rebounds per game this season.
