Kelvin Sampson doesn’t feel that Houston’s toughest games prior to reaching the Final Four last season were against its competition in the NCAA Tournament.
“We played against two great defenses last year,” Sampson said Monday on the College Hoops Today Podcast. “The two best were Baylor and Memphis. We won four games in the NCAA Tournament. None of those games were are as hard as Memphis. Memphis is good. They’re an NCAA Tournament team.”
The Cougars beat Memphis twice last season by a combined five points.
Both teams are currently ranked in the ROTHSTEIN 45.
