Cougars hit 62.1% from the free throw line and 46.3% from the field.
Houston also controlled
the defensive end of the court with seven take-a-ways, seven blocked shots, and
12 steals.

rebounds, but was limited to 15 coming on the offensive end of the court.
Thomas
led the Cougars with eight rebounds, seven defensive and one offensive, along
with two blocks and two steals.
Young
also was perfect from the free throw line, connecting on eight-of-eight shots.

the loss, Grambling
State fell to 0-5 for the
season.
