No. 5 Houston relied on a fundamental program tenet to carve out its second straight victory last week, and the win mattered more than how the Cougars achieved it.Houston (19-4, 11-1 Big 12) needed a late push to fend off Colorado 69-59 on Saturday, keeping the Buffaloes winless in conference play.The Cougars, who will host Baylor on Monday, took a similar path to victory against Oklahoma State last Tuesday, perhaps confirming that they haven’t reclaimed their swagger following a home loss to Texas Tech that snapped several lengthy streaks.The Cougars outlasted Colorado in part by turning 15 offensive rebounds into a plus-10 margin in shot attempts. It marked a similar refrain for Houston, where winning trumps style points.”That’s a big part of our formula is getting more shot attempts than the other team,” Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. “If you go back to all of our six road wins that’s a common theme.”Usually around 40-45 percent of our misses we usually get back. On nights when you shoot well you look great. On nights when you don’t, you still win and you have to look in a dictionary and find out what ‘ugly win’ is. But bottom line is we know how to win.”The Cougars have labored over the four games following their double-overtime victory at Kansas on Jan. 25. That Houston struggled to dispatch the scuffling Buffaloes could serve as a point of concern with Baylor set to pay a visit, but the Cougars are focused on the results.”It’s a great win for us. A great win,” Sampson said. “It puts us at 11-1 in the league and we’ve got a big game on Monday, and we’ve already moved on to that one.”J’Wan Roberts paced Houston with 20 points on 9-of-11 shooting while only four of his teammates joined him on the scoresheet. L.J. Cryer (14.3 ppg), Emanuel Sharp (12.5) and Roberts (11.8) lead the Cougars.Baylor (15-8, 7-5) welcomed Langston Love back in its 91-76 home win over UCF on Saturday but lost Josh Ojianwuna to a left knee injury less than five minutes into the contest.
