In what is turning out to be the best season ever for the University of Houston women's basketball program, they rode the sizzling shooting of Brittney Scott to beat Marshall 72-54 for their school record 14th straight win.
Scott scorched the Thundering Herd for 24 points with 6 for 10 shooting from behind the three point arc as the now 25th ranked Cougars improved their record to 23-4 on the season and are now only two wins away from an unbeaten romp through Conference USA.
They clinched the conference championship with a 77-61 win over UTEP last week and have two games left on their schedule standing between them and becoming the second C-USA women's team to go unbeaten.
The Cougar lady ballers battle our crosstown rivals at Rice and have a Tuesday night regular season finale at Hofheinz with Tulane before they head to El Paso to play in the C-USA tournament.
Looks like I'll have a reason to watch the Selection Monday coverage on ESPN when they announce the teams that will be going to the NCAA womens tournament.
