Houston (18-2, 7-0 American) rallied from an early nine-point deficit and maintained control the final 30 minutes of the game.

After UCF got within 47-43 midway through the second half with 6:20 to play, Houston responded with a 10-3 burst keyed by two Taze Moore 3-pointers to push its lead back out to 57-46.

A Houston defense that came into the game ranked second in the nation in field goal percentage allowed and second in points allowed held UCF to 35.3 percent from the floor and a season-low 49 points.
