Houston Cougar Baseball resumes Big 12 play in a series against the Baylor Bears beginning tonight at 6:30PM from Schroeder Park in Houston. After Tuesday's insane game against Texas, Houston now begins a series at home against Baylor and should be able to continue pick up where they have left off offensively these last four games. The bats have come alive in high-leverage spots here of late, but after starting the year strong, it has been Houston's pitching staff that has suffered their own shortcomings, and this series against Baylor presents Houston's best opportunity to continue to stay on a consistent path forward through the season. Travis Sanders at Shortstop has been Baylor's best hitter this season batting .386 with 8 doubles, 1 HR, and 15 RBIs. Brady Janusek in the outfield has brought solid power at the plate for Baylor batting .348 with 4 doubles, 5 HRs, and 22 RBIs. Brytton Clements at 3rd Base for Baylor has also been a bright spot as the Redshirt Freshman is batting .305 with 5 doubles. Houston starts Connor Udland and he may be asked to go as long as he can after the way the last four games have gone. He'll need his Curveball to help him get ahead in counts early and often against this Baylor lineup. Lucas Davenport starts tonight as he is the Friday night starter for Baylor. Davenport has not pitched more than 5 innings in a game this year, but Baylor has won in all of his starts. It'll be imperative of this Houston lineup to work his pitch count early in this game and make him throw long innings. Even if it doesn't result in runs, being in high-leverage situations consistently will wear you down faster, and with how Houston has been scoring their runs of late, this is a great chance to keep the pace going into this series with Baylor. Tyler Cox has to be the player to watch tonight for Houston; both him and Tre Broussard have been on an absolute tear at the plate, and TC's situational hitting has been phenomenal. I hope this coaching staff keeps Easton Winfield in the lineup at DH. He is seeing the ball really well, and still having power at DH no matter if it's Winfield, Carsten Sabathia, and even Cade Climie in that spot has been a huge plus in this lineup. Should be a great series this weekend in Houston! Follow us @CoogsOnState for live updates on Houston's series with Baylor this weekend! #GoCoogs #Coogs

65-55 final from Houston as Illinois defeats Houston. Houston Cougar Basketball ends the year 30-7. #GoCoogs #Coogs

That’s all, folks!

I almost can’t watch this man. Jeez.

At the half Houston is down 24-22 against Illinois. To be down by two is a miracle. It can’t just be Emanuel Sharp and Kingston Flemings. Milos Uzan, Mercy Miller, Chase McCarty, and Chris Cenac all need to get it going. Defense will decide who wins this game. #GoCoogs #Coogs

Timeout Houston down 21-14 with 4:19 left in the 1st half. We cannot be this cold. Just can’t. #GoCoogs #Coogs

Holy moly this is a ROUGH start. #GoCoogs #Coogs

Houston Cougars vs. Illinois Fighting Illini 🏀 South Regional Semifinal Tip-off 9:05PM Central From Toyota Center in Houston, Texas In what will be the most telling game about this Houston team, this game will be decided on if Houston's defense can be consistent and stout for 40 minutes. Illinois has one of the most efficient offenses in the country; there are similarities in their play compared to Florida's team last year in that game we lost. Illinois has great balance in their attack with Keaton Wagler, Andrej Stojakovic, and Kylan Boswell running their backcourt and feeding the "Twin Towers" with the Ivisic brothers on the inside. This just feels like how Florida last year ran their offense with Walter Clayton Jr, Will Richard, and Alijah Martin in their backcourt with Alex Condon being the go-to man in their frontcourt. Illinois shoots very well from inside shooting around 58% and can not only create runs, but keep them too. Houston will need to limit second-chance opportunities the Illini create and force their guards into making tough decision with the ball. Halfcourt defense will be instrumental in this game as it gets down to the wire, and whoever can break the other teams rhythm first in the end will come out on top. Houston's physicality has to be imposing on this Illinois team if they are going to play one more in Houston on Saturday. It starts with Joseph Tugler not getting into foul trouble early, and imposing his defense. I also expect Mercy Miller, Chase McCarty, and Ramon Walker to play important roles in tonight's game especially Walker with his experience in Tournament games. In what is a grand opportunity for this program, school, and city, tonight is about what makes Houston special. Whether it is the city, this school, or this team, we know that we are cut from a different cloth and tonight will show exactly what that looks like. #ForTheCity #GoCoogs #Coogs #MarchMadness #Sweet16 #Big12
