University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on this UH team getting back to elite rebounding; "When I recruited Mercy (Miller), he was a good rebounder. So was Chase (McCarty). It's part of why we recruited them. . . Last year I thought one of the areas that. . . every good rebounding team I've had here, we've had really good rebounding guards. This team has a chance to be a good rebounding team. "Rec (Gillespie's) a good rebounder. Though I think he can rebound better than he is right now. Jo (Tugler) is a good rebounder. So is Arafan (Diane). So is Braden (East). Bryce (Jackson), actually is. We've got a lot of good rebounders." Houston got 13 combined rebounds from Mercy Miller and Chase McCarty in its three guard starting lineup in its 94-55 throttling of La Salle. Power forward Braden East added five rebounds in 15 minutes off the bench. And Diane had four in 10 minutes.
