University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson on backup center Kalifa Sakho getting five offensive rebounds against A&M after Ramadan: "That 30 days, he lost 14 pounds. I respect all our kids' religions, who they are, what they are, how they live their lives. I have great respect for every human being. Whether they're on my team or not, I respect people. "So with his Ramadan, he was on a set schedule. What time he had to get up in the morning to eat. And when he could have his last meal at night. So he did that for 30 days and you could tell he was losing a lot of weight. But his last day was Thursday so it's no coincidence that he had his best game on Saturday. My God, the boy ate like it was last meal for two days. I said, 'You don't need to gain all that weight back in two days. Just slow down there, Hoss... "Kalifa's a smart kid. He's got really good basketball IQ... Kalifa's been a huge, huge part of a lot of our big wins this year."
