Available at Kansas State Cryer (illness) is available for Houston's game Saturday at Kansas State, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Fortunately for Cryer, not even multiple days after Coogs.com announced the senior had been dealing with a stomach bug, he is fully healthy for Houston going into the team's game Saturday. Cryer is off to a slow start in the calendar year 2025, but having averaged 15.1 points in the 2024 part of his current season and consistent displays of double-digit scoring, he is expected to get back on track or improve his scoring somewhat as this year continues.

Dealing with illness Head coach Kelvin Sampson revealed that Cryer (illness) has been dealing with a stomach bug and hasn't left his room for two days, per GoCoogs.com.

The senior guard has yet to miss a contest for the Cougars this season while averaging 14.3 points per game. Should Cryer miss Saturday's contest, Mylik Wilson could be a candidate to step into an increased role.
