Kingston Flemings - College Basketball News & Rumors

Can't get it going Flemings racked up 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 37 minutes during Thursday's 65-55 loss to Illinois.

Impact Like many of his fellow Cougars, Flemings struggled to get things going offensively. Flemings closed out the first half with a triple to give him nine points going into the break and it looked like it may light a fire under Houston. However, he only managed three shot attempts and two points in the second half as the Cougars bowed out in the Sweet 16. The standout freshman point guard had an otherwise outstanding season and while his decision for next year is not yet official, it looks highly likely that he'll test the NBA draft waters as a likely lottery pick. If this turns out to be his only season in Houston, he'll end his career with averages of 16.1 points, 5.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.5 steals while shooting 47.6-percent from the floor and 38.7-percent from deep.

Houston routs Idaho 78-47 in return to March Madness after losing in last year's championship game

Kingston Flemings scored 18 points, Emanuel Sharpe added 16 and Houston routed Idaho 78-47 Thursday night in its NCAA Tournament opener after losing last year’s championship game

Leads team during dominant win Flemings closed with 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Thursday's 78-47 win over Idaho.

Impact Flemings led the way for the Cougars with 18 points while adding six boards, four dimes and vandalizing the Vandals with a couple of thefts. The blue-chip freshman rebounded from a Big 12 championship loss in which he scored eight points on 3-for-12 shooting from the floor and shot better than 50-percent while taking 10 or more shots for the first time in nine games. Houston could have essentially named their number against the outmatched Vandals and Flemings was certainly in line for a bigger performance had the Cougars not called off the dogs and moved most of their starters to the bench with just over seven minutes remaining. For the season, Flemings is averaging 16.4 points, 5.3 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals while shooting 39.2-percent from beyond the arc.
