Takeaways Jackson State: The Tigers, who are playing 13 straight games away from home to start the season, had issues with Houston’s size and athleticism from the start, but they also had self-inflicted issues, including a technical foul for having six men on the court in the first half.

Houston: Depth was a problem for the Cougars last year, but it could be a strength for Houston this season. Terrance Arceneaux, who was returning from a torn Achilles, had seven points, and Joseph Tugler, whose freshman season was cut short by a foot injury, had five points and seven rebounds in his return.

Key moment The Cougars used an 18-1 run to build a 21-3 lead in the first half. Houston led 52-13 at the half on 60% shooting, including 8 of 10 on 3-pointers.

Key stat The Cougars forced 20 turnovers and held a 35-4 advantage in points off turnovers.

Up next Houston hosts No. 11 Auburn in the Battleground 2k24 Classic on Saturday, the same day Jackson State travels to High Point.
