  • UH's first seven games have all been decided by double-digits.  
  • The 'Bows sport a balanced attack with four players averaging double-digit points, led by senior forward Jack Purchase (12.4 ppg).
  • UH is 136 in the first-ever NCAA NET rankings (Nov. 26).
  • UH has dropped back-to-back games for the first time this season after falling to Seton Hall and Fresno State in the Wooden Legacy.
