Takeaways Texas A&M-Corpus Christi: The Islanders did well combatting Houston’s size in the post, but Houston’s speed and shooting on the perimeter were too much for them.

Houston: The Cougars’ depth was on display as starting forward J’Wan Roberts was out of the lineup due to injury and reserve guard Ramon Walker Jr. was out after having surgery on his hand that is expected to keep him out until late January.

Key moment Houston opened the game shooting 7 of 9, including 4 of 6 on 3-pointers, and took an 18-6 lead on a 3 by Cryer with 13 minutes remaining. The Cougars’ lead never dipped below six the rest of the way.

Key stat The Cougars forced 13 turnovers and held a 27-8 edge in points off turnovers.

Up next Houston travels to Oklahoma State on Dec. 30 to start Big 12 conference play, and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi hosts Schreiner on Dec. 29.
