Houston Roundball Review Archive: November 2006 Tom Penders after Coogs' HUGE win over PV

Wednesday, November 29, 2006

HOUSTON, TX (Hofheinz Pavilion) -- I'm not going to spend too much time talking about Wednesday night's 47-point win by the Houston Cougars over the Prairie View A&M Panthers (101-54).

No offense to PV; but, the Coogs are much, much better than the Panthers.

Coogs' junior guard Robert "Fluff" McKiver set a school-record by making nine three-point field goals as he tied his UH career-high 33 points.

Jahmar Thorpe added 20 points (on 8 for 9 shooting).

The game was close at 15 to 11; then, the Coogs shifted into high gear and the rout was on.

Houston improves its record to 4-1 with the victory.

Coach Tom Penders gave his take on the game to the media afterwards.

Oddly, enough the Coogs are still missing "...three frontline players..."
