In this story:


Houston goes for its 10th straight win as the Cougars head to Florida.

They take on UCF in Big 12 Conference basketball action, which will tip off locally at 11 a.m.

With its nine-game winning streak, Houston has also cracked the Top 10 in both major polls; No. 10 in the Associated Press Top 25 and No. 8 in the USA Today coaches’ poll. The Cougars are also ranked No. 3 in the latest NCAA NET rankings.

Houston is coming off a 70-54 win at the Fertitta Center against West Virginia on Wednesday night, which also extended the nation’s longest active home court winning streak to 32 straight. Graduate forward J’Wan Roberts led the way with 22 points on 10-of-13 shooting, a game after he scored his 1,000th career point.

Graduate guard LJ Cryer added 18 points and made five 3-pointers, and junior guard Emanuel Sharp scored 14 points and made three treys.

Mylik Wilson, a graduate guard, was held scoreless Wednesday as he still can become the 53rd Cougar to hit 1,000 points, as he needs 3 points to do so. Wilson, who also played at Texas Tech and Louisiana prior to arriving in Houston, has scored 247 of his 997 points in a Cougar uniform.

UCF is coming off an 95-89 win last Tuesday at Arizona State to improve to 3-2 in the conference, putting the Knights in a tie for sixth place. Keyshawn Hall, a junior, scored 40 points in the win and had seven rebounds, six assists and went a perfect 10-of-10 from the free throw line.

Hall currently leads the Knights in both scoring (17.6) and rebounding (6.6).

Houston leads UCF in the overall series, 24-11, and the Cougars have won nine straight games and 13 of the last 14 games against the Knights.

On Tuesday, the Cougars return to the Fertitta Center to take on Utah. Then next Saturday, Houston heads back on the road and will play at Kansas in a much-anticipated showdown.
