Kelvin Sampson reflected on Houston’s loss to Alabama
Boasting a 9–0 record entering the game, the Cougars led by as many as 15 points early in the second half but were outscored 40-21 in the final 16 minutes of play. Houston’s loss came nearly two weeks after Alabama knocked off then-No. 1 in quadruple overtime, 103–101, at the Phil Knight Invitational tournament in Portland on Nov. 27.
“That’s the No. 8 team in the nation, so no shame in losing to a really, really good Alabama team,” Sampson. “But disappointed, obviously. We haven’t lost a lot in this building. Give Alabama credit. They did a great job in that second half. We could have played better, but we’ve got to stay with it, long season. We’ve played 10 games. Last time I checked, we’ve got 22 more, so we’ll keep working at it.
“Winning on the road is special. That’s a great win for Alabama, really is, great win and good for them,” Sampson said. “Losing at home, though, is tough, especially when you’ve had a lot of the success we’ve had over a long period of time.” The Cougars finished the contest without junior guard Tramon Mark after he fouled out with 8:10 to play in the game. Mark scored 10 points on 4-of-9 shooting, while the Tide were led in scoring by junior guard Jamal Shead with 19 points.
