No. 15 Houston Cougars Dominate Troy Trojans 62-42 Behind L.J. Cryer’s 22 Points

No. 15 Houston Cougars secured a convincing victory over the Troy Trojans with a final score of 62-42 on Tuesday night at the Fertitta Center in Houston, Texas. The win was largely driven by the outstanding performance of L.J. Cryer, who scored 22 points and made six 3-pointers.

The Cougars’ strong defensive effort was a key factor in their success, holding the Trojans to just 42 points. This defensive prowess has been a hallmark of the Houston team this season, with the Cougars averaging 58.3 points allowed per game.

Houston improved their record to 6-3, maintaining a perfect 4-0 home record. The team’s overall performance was bolstered by their rebounding and assists, with Jalen Roberts contributing 6.9 rebounds per game and Marcus Uzan averaging 5.1 assists per game.

Troy, now 5-3, struggled to find their rhythm against the Cougars’ tight defense. Despite the efforts of players like Myles Rigsby, who averages 14.0 points per game, the Trojans were unable to overcome the deficit.
