Part 5/6:
In the final minutes, the Cougars extended their lead with critical shots from beyond the arc, notably from Sharp and Cee. Each of their three-point attempts seemed to fall decisively, as they built toward a comfortable lead that would ultimately reflect on the scoreboard. Despite being challenged, Houston remained focused and disciplined, refusing to let Troy close the gap significantly.
In contrast, the Trojans struggled to keep pace, missing numerous attempts and failing to capitalize on offensive rebounds. Their efforts to rally faded as Houston pressed their advantage, solidifying their home-court dominance.
