CoogRS

If you are a parent of an elite basketball prospect, how would you not want this man to teach your child about basketball and life? The title “coach” goes far beyond sports.

Heartbroken? Yes. Disappointed? No. Proud? Extremely!! Dancing for 7 year straight…Houston Cougars are a dynasty. We will be back!!!

Coog Fans, losing sucks, but we can't let this bad game affect our passion. Let's support our Coogs the best we can (both financially and spiritually) and let's make another gawd damn run next year. We'll be back!! Don't Sleep on Houston!! #GoCoogs #ForTheCity

Coach Sampson’s players are family. ❤️

Emanuel Sharp’s message to Houston’s returners on buying into coach Kelvin Sampson’s blueprint: “He doesn’t just teach you about basketball, he teaches you about life. I really value that. He cares very deeply about teaching every single one of his players. And that’s real genuine. It’s not fake at all, and I appreciate that… if you follow his way you’ll succeed.”

Mercy Miller on his future with the Houston Cougars: “This [is] definitely the most important Summer of my life…I can’t just be wasting time, especially if I want to do what I want to do with my life” Mercy also made it clear that his main focus is taking “the leap” and making history as a #houstoncougar . #marchmadness #sweetsixteen #mercymiller

"I love coach, with all my heart" ❤️ Emanuel Sharp on his time with Coach Sampson #MarchMadness

Always left it all on the floor 💯 Thank you, Milos Uzan #MarchMadness

@TNTSportsUS Coach Sampson is a legend and needs a natty damn it!! #GoCoogs

"I don't have to be their life, but they are my life." Kelvin Sampson talks on the importance of not taking a break to make sure his players are taken care of for the next step in their lives. ❤️

BROTHERHOOD FIRST for #houstoncougars after the #sweetsixteen loss. Despite the result, the team still appears to be in good (at least, as good as possible) spirits, and are uplifting each other while sharing encouragement in the locker room. Any former or current athlete knows how tough it can be to stay positive during a time like this. #houston #marchmadness

Houston grit and heart personified ❤️ Thank you, Emanuel Sharp #MarchMadness

Houston got T’d up down 5 with 75 seconds left. It’s actually unfathomable that Duke didn’t win this game

Give these guys all the love because they are going through it hard right now, especially the guys who won’t be back next year and were so close to winning at all the year before. This one stings really bad.

Shout out to Emmanuel Sharp. Came into college an under recruited 3⭐️, redshirts his first year at Houston. Plays 4 years strong ALL at UH, 3 Sweet 16s, a Final Four, played 3600 minutes, hit over 300 3s. Awesome human being too, incredible college career. Rarity in CBB🫡

Houston sophomore guard Mercy Miller has been named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Team, the school announced Tuesday.

The calm before the storm…. I got dad to smile 😊 #MarchMadness #ForTheCity x #GoCoogs

HUGE shoutout to @MattressMack for once again stepping up so more @UHouston students can go to @MarchMadnessMBB on Thursday. Biggest heart around. @UHCougarMBK Go Coogs!
