Top-ranked Houston pounded Kansas by 30 points Saturday, hours after a loss by No. 6 Iowa State gave the Cougars the outright Big 12 regular-season title.
The win came soon after the Cougars, in their first season in the Big 12, secured the outright conference regular-season title following No. 6had 10 points and eight rebounds for the Cougars , who shot 46% from the field and hit 6 3-pointers on the way to a 40-21 lead at the half."Showing them what we've been doing all year," Shead said."They didn't get our best shot at Kansas, we got theirs. I guess we gave them our best shot today.
"It's gratifying," Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said of winning the Big 12."I'm happy for everybody. There's so many people that have an inferior complex about ... we're the University of Houston. This is a damn good school. We live in a damn good city, and we're a damn good basketball program. We should never ever, ever, ever take a backseat to anybody."
"It's almost like people thought the only teams we played were American ," Sampson said of Houston's former conference."You don't get to the Final Four or Elite Eight or Sweet 16 without beating other really, really good teams. The only difference was playing them every night, but they had to play us, too."
