The Cougars come into this weekend s contest after a win against Troy on Monday. In that game, senior guard Aubrey Coleman the nation s leading scorer led all players with 25 points despite being held to one point through the first 16 minutes, while senior guard Kelvin Lewis was dazzling from the 3-point line, draining 7-of-9 long-range attempts. Saturday s game will be the first time since Dec. 1, 1982, that Mississippi State has visited Hofheinz Pavilion. The Cougars own a 5-1 lead in the all-time series against the Bulldogs, but MSU can boast of the most recent success following an win in Starkville on Jan. 3, This will be the start of a busy time for the Cougars during the holiday season. Houston plays four games during an 11-day stretch. Following Saturday s contest, the Cougars play host to The Citadel (Dec. 21), TCU (Dec. 23) and Louisiana Tech (Dec. 29). FACING THE BEST With the Cougars win against No. 25 Oklahoma on Nov. 26 during the Carrs/ Safeway Great Alaska Shootout, the team earned their fourth win against a ranked opponent under head coach Tom Penders. It also was the team s second win against a ranked team outside of Houston during Penders tenure. Prior to Penders arrival in , the Cougars had posted only three combined wins against ranked teams in the previous 13 seasons with none of those on the road. FAST BREAKING WITH FEW GIVEAWAYS Fans of the Cougars are treated to a unique team every game. With a fastbreak, up-tempo, athletic team, Houston comfortably leads Conference USA with 86.4 points per game. However, as quickly as the team likes to run up and down the floor, the Cougars also lead the nation with only 9.7 turnovers per game, nearly two fewer giveaways than their closest competitor in the league. Those kind of low giveaway numbers are nothing new to Houston fans. The Cougars have lowered their turnovers per game mark during each of the last five seasons, finished among the nation s top-20 leaders in that category in each of the last three years and the top 10 in the last two. A year ago, the Cougars accomplished the rare feat of leading the league in most points scored (75.8) and fewest turnovers per game (9.8).

This will be the first time the Cougars have faced the Bulldogs in Houston since a win on Dec. 1, LAST TIME OUT Houston 93, Troy 85 Dec. 14, 2009 Hofheinz Pavilion Houston Was the first meeting between the two teams. Cougars used a 16-2 run during a 4:10 first-half run to build a lead they would never relinquish.

Junior forward Kahmell Broughton set career highs in points (10), free throws made and attempted (2), rebounds (4) and minutes (16). Sophomore point guard Desmond Wade dished out at least five assists in a game for the sixth time this season... It also was his fourth straight game with at least six assists. MORE FOR THE TROPHY CASE The awards continued to pour in for senior guard Aubrey Coleman, who was honored Dec. 7 as the C-USA Player of the Week for the second straight week. Coleman earned the honor after helping lead the Cougars to a 2-1 record and a third-place finish at the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. He averaged 22.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.0 steals on the way to being named to the All-Tournament Team. He received the league s weekly award on Nov. 23 after posting back-to-back 30-point games against Nicholls State on Nov. 17 and at Nevada on Nov. 21. Coleman became just the third player in school history to accomplish that feat. It was his second award of the season and the fourth honor of his career. Coleman was named the league s Rookie of the Week five times in LIMITED COMPANY With 30-point efforts in back-to-back games to open the season, senior guard Aubrey Coleman joined an exclusive group in Houston history. Coleman joined Cougar legends Otis Birdsong and Elvin Hayes as the only players in school history to record back-to-back 30-point games during the first two games of any season. He became the first player to accomplish that feat since Birdsong did it against Texas Lutheran (34 pts., Nov. 28, 1976) and against Lamar (Dec. 1, 1976). 30-POINT CLUB With a game-high 32 points at Nevada on Nov. 21, senior guard Aubrey Coleman recorded the fifth 30-point effort of his career. That moved him into a tie for ninth place in school history with Dwight Davis ( ) and Gary Phillips ( ). Up next in the Houston records book is Tim Moore, who posted six 30-point games from 1993 to MORE FOR THE TROPHY CASE After opening the season with back-to-back 30-point games, senior guard Aubrey Coleman was honored as the Conference USA Player of the Week on Nov. 23. It was his first award of the season but his third honor during his career. In addition, he was named the league s Rookie of the Week five times in TAKING CARE The Cougars lead the country with only 9.7 turnovers per game in and are joined by Michigan (9.4) as the only teams to average fewer than 9.5 giveaways per game. This marks the fourth straight season that the Cougars have ranked among the nation s top-10 teams in fewest turnovers per game. Here is where the Cougars have ranked among all NCAA Division I teams in the last five seasons as well as their ranks in UH single-season history. JUST GETTING STARTED It certainly took little time for senior guard Aubrey Coleman to knock the rust off during Houston s season-opening win against Nicholls State on Nov. 17. The Houston native scored a game-high 33 points on 12-of-25 shooting with three assists and four steals in 26 minutes. Coleman also came just one rebound short of recording the 15th double-double of his career. His performance tied for the third-most points by any Cougar in a season-opening game. His mark equaled the totals of Robert McKiver (at Rhode Island, Nov. 13, 2006); Tim Moore (vs. James Madison, Nov. 25, 1994). It trailed only the school-record 35-point effort by the legendary Elvin Hayes (vs. Sacramento State, Dec. 2, 1967) and 34 points from Otis Birdsong (vs. Texas Lutheran; Nov. 28, 1976). National UH Year Avg. Rank Rank DOWNTOWN ADAM BROWN st 1st Junior guard Adam Brown did a little of everything in the Cougars loss at Nevada nd 2nd th 3rd on Nov. 21.

DISHING OUT DIMES Sophomore point guard Desmond Wade has been a steady offensive leader for the Cougars this season. Through the first seven games, the Linden, N.J., native leads the team and Conference USA with 5.9 assists per contest. Wade, who ranks as one of the shortest players in school history, has handed out at least four assists in all seven games to date this season, including a season-high eight against San Diego on Nov. 27 during the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. As high as his assists totals are, his low turnover numbers are equally dazzling. Wade has recorded two or fewer giveaways in all but one game. As a result, he leads Conference USA and ranks among the nation s top-five individual leaders with a assist:turnover ratio. MORE THAN ASSISTS In addition to his team-leading assists total, sophomore point guard Desmond Wade has emerged as a consistent scorer this season. Through seven games, Wade ranks fourth on the team with 8.1 points per game and has reached double-digit points in four games. He tied his career high with 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-3 treys, during the Cougars win against host Alaska-Anchorage on Nov. 28, during the final day of the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. A year ago, Wade reached double-digit points in six games. TEAM CAPTAINS NAMED Senior guards Kelvin Lewis and Aubrey Coleman and senior forward Sean Coleman were named team captains for the season. It marked the second straight season that Lewis and Coleman received that team honor. Head coach Tom Penders and his staff selected the captains during preseason practice. REGULAR-SEASON TOURNAMENT HISTORY This marked the fourth consecutive season that the Cougars competed in a regular-season tournament. With their 2-1 mark at the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout, the Cougars improved to (.645) all-time record during regular-season tournaments in their history. It was the first time that the Cougars posted a winning record at a regular-season tournament since going 2-1 at the Top of the World Classic in Fairbanks, Alaska, on Nov , at Great Alaska Shootout: This was the first time that the Cougars have competed at the Carrs/ Safeway Great Alaska Shootout. With their win against host Alaska-Anchorage on Nov. 28, the Cougars improved to 2-1 at that tournament. However, it was not the first time the program has ventured to the northernmost state. The Cougars competed at the 1999 Top of the World Classic in Fairbanks, Alaska. Houston opened that tournament with a win against host Alaska-Fairbanks before falling to California and wrapping up their stay with a win against George Washington. RUNNING AND GUNNING With 100 points against No. 25 Oklahoma during the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout on Nov. 26, the Cougars reached the 90-point mark for the third straight game to open the season. This was the first time since and only the third time in school history ( ) that the Cougars accomplished that feat. No team in school history has opened a season with at least 90 points in each of the first four games. IMPRESSIVE OPENING NIGHT With a win against Nicholls State on Nov. 17, the Cougars opened the season in impressive fashion. That victory tied for the second biggest season-opening win since and tied for the fifth-biggest season-opening win ever. The team under head coach Tom Penders opened the year with a win against Florida Tech to set the school record, while the squad enjoyed a home win against UC Davis. The team started with a win against Arizona in Houston s Kettle Classic. In , Houston enjoyed an win against Texas A&I, while the team began with a victory against Houston Baptist. All six of these big season-opening wins were played at home in Houston. PRESEASON ALL-CONFERENCE ACCOLADES Senior guards Aubrey Coleman and Kelvin Lewis earned place on the Preseason All-Conference USA Team. In Coleman and Lewis, the Cougars boast the top two returning scorers in the league this season.

6 openers inside Hofheinz Pavilion. IRON MAN Senior guard Kelvin Lewis has been a regular in the lineup throughout his Cougar career. Entering Saturday s game against Mississippi State, the Fort Worth native has competed in each of the last 70 games with starts in each of the last 43 contests. Both streaks are the longest among current Cougar players. However, Lewis does much more than just compete in those games; he plays and finishes them. A year ago, Lewis led all players in Conference USA, competing an average of minutes per game. In , he leads Conference USA with 36.7 minutes per game. Lewis has played all 40 minutes during three of the last three games, boosting his career total in that category to 13 games. A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK Senior guard Kelvin Lewis never needs to look into the stands to find his father during games; he only needs to check the Cougar bench. Kevin Lewis is in his fourth season at Houston in as the senior associate coach. The elder Lewis works closely with the Cougar post players and assists in all recruiting. The elder Lewis was a four-year letterman at SMU from 1982 to 1986, earning All-Southwest Conference honors as a senior. OFF THE COURT Senior forward Sean Coleman has been a reliable contributor for the Cougars, both on and off the court. A year ago, he was named to the 2009 Conference USA Men s Basketball All-Academic Team and earned a place on the C-USA Commissioner s Honor Roll. He became the Cougars first academic honoree since Bryan Shelton was named to the C-USA Commissioner s Honor Roll for the third straight season in Coleman, a sociology major, serves as the men s basketball representative on the Houston Student-Athlete Advisory Council. WELCOME TO HOUSTON The Cougars inked one player to a National Letter of Intent during the November signing period.

HOFHEINZ PAVILION HOME OF THE COUGARS Since opening its doors Dec. 1, 1969, Hofheinz Pavilion has provided the University of Houston Men s Basketball teams with one of the nation s most exciting collegiate atmospheres. Located on the UH campus at the corner of Cullen Boulevard and Holman Street, Hofheinz Pavilion has been a challenging environment for Cougar opponents during its history. The Cougars own an impressive all-time record in their home facility with double-digit wins coming in 25 seasons, including each of the last four. In , the program played a school-record 19 games in front of the hometown fans with wins in 17 of those, the second-highest season total in the history of the building. Nearly 3 million fans have poured into the facility to watch some of the greatest players in college basketball history and seen some of the most memorable games. With a rabid fan base, the Cougars reeled off a school record 43 consecutive home wins from 1982 to 1985 NAMESAKES On Jan. 6, 1996, the playing court was renamed for UH s legendary head coach Guy V. Lewis, who led the Cougars to 592 win, five Final Four berths, 14 NCAA Tournament appearances and five NIT berths during his 30-year career. That same night, the Cougars claimed a win over No. 3 Memphis in the first game on the court that bears his name. The facility was named after Judge Roy Hofheinz, a businessman who gained world acclaim for conceiving and spearheading the city of Houston s construction of the Houston Astrodome. He and his wife Irene met as students at UH in The couple later created the Judge Roy Hofheinz Foundation, which contributed 1.5 million toward the construction of the facility. SEATING CAPACITY Theatre style seats encircle the court and provide excellent views from any location. Originally built with a capacity of more than 10,000, Hofheinz Pavilion underwent renovations which included the addition of 28 suites in 1998 that reduced capacity to its current mark of 8, 479. However, the facility remains one of college basketball s most daunting environments. POSTSEASON EVENTS Besides regular-season basketgall games, the facility also has hosted a variety of postseason events, including the NIT, Southwest Conference Tournament games from 1978 to 1980, the NCAA Tournament Midwest Regional in 1971 and 1978 and a quarterfinal game from the inaugural 2008 College Basketball Invitational. RENOVATIONS & USAGE The team s locker rooms have been renovated recently. Through a donation by alumni John and Rebecca Moores, the locker room was enlarged and equipped with oversized, personal lockers for each player. Theater-style seats later were added to the team s meeting area adjacent to the locker room. The multi-purpose facility is home for the Cougar Men s and Women s Basketball teams. In addition, it is used for other athletics and special events, concernts, convocations, commencement exercises, professional serminars, forums and other activities.
