'Bama loss puts UH in position to grab No. 1 in Top 25, but only if...
For a top college hoops program, the Houston Cougars have been a patient bunch deep into a potential national title-winning season.
This scenario played out on Wednesday when this week's No. 1 program, the Alabama Crimson Tide, lost by nine against No. 10 Tennessee, dropping them to 22-4.What have the Coogs done following that? Just cruise to an 80-65 win over SMU in Dallas on Thursday. Jarace Walker and Marcus Sasser combined to score 34 points for their 24th win of the season.
Case in point, the Coogs' job isn't done yet. They face the tough Memphis Tigers, who are second in the American Athletic Conference and have tournament aspirations of their own. That game is on Sunday, the day before the AP reveals its poll results. Sampson and a healthy portion of the Coogs' fanbase will tell you that rankings at any point of the season don't matter, but momentum from them does.
