Houston has been one of the nation’s top storylines this season, as many expected the team to fall back after transitioning to the Big 12 Conference. Kelvin Sampson quickly showed he means business leading his squad to an 11-3 conference record with two games remaining. Houston heads to Orlando to take on Johnny Dawkins and the UCF Knights in Orlando before returning home to close out the season against the No. 14 Kansas Jayhawks.
