UH will count on Tramon Mark, it's 'X factor' against Auburn. He's come through before.
As a freshman in 2021, Mark’s tip-in in the closing seconds helped the Cougars beat Rutgers and ultimately reach the Final Four.
Two years later, Mark said that experience will pay huge dividends with the Cougars likely to call his name more due to lingering issues to Sasser and Shead . Both guards said Friday they will play against Auburn. Mark has been described as the ‘X factor’ by teammates for his ability to rise to any occasion. He can score. He can rebound. He can defend. Much like the first half in the regular season finale at Memphis, when the Cougars ran their offense through Mark. He responded with 14 of his 16 points in the first half as the Cougars won 67-65 on Shead’s buzzer-beater.“He really is our ‘X factor,’” Shead said. “When he’s going it makes us 10 times better.
