Third-ranked Houston will look to remain in sole possession of first place in the American Athletic Conference standings by continuing its dominance over host Wichita State on Thursday.

The Cougars (20-2, 8-1 AAC) are seeking their ninth win in their past 10 games against the Shockers (11-10, 4-5) dating back to January 2018.

Houston rallied in the second half for a 75-69 win over visiting Cincinnati on Saturday, while the Shockers never trailed against East Carolina in an 85-72 victory on Sunday in Greenville, N.C.
