Mandatory Credit: Jerome Miron-Imagn Images Kingston Flemings poured in 27 points, Emanuel Sharp added 23 and No. 10 Houston went on to a 79-70 victory over TCU on Wednesday night at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.
The Cougars (18-2, 6-1 Big 12) bounced back after falling at Texas Tech on Saturday. It was the third straight 20-point performance for Flemings, who scored 42 in the loss to Tech. Milos Uzan finished with 10 points, four rebounds and four assists, and Chris Cenac Jr. had eight points and 14 rebounds for Houston.
TCU (13-8, 3-5) saw a brief two-game winning streak end. Xavier Edmonds scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, and David Punch had 16 points and six assists to lead the Frogs.
Houston put itself in the driver’s seat midway through the first half, going on a 12-0 run to build an early 28-16 lead. The stretch started with a 3 by Cenac and closed on a 3 by Chase McCarty.
The Cougars had another 7-0 spurt late, taking a 43-30 lead into the break. They shot 61.5% from the field compared to the Frogs’ 40.7%.
Houston extended its lead to a game-high 45-30 with two free throws coming out of the break as TCU coach Jamie Dixon was called for a technical foul at the end of the first half.
However, the Frogs battled back with a 14-2 run, pulling to 49-46 on a layup by Tanner Toolson with just under 12 minutes left. TCU pulled to within 56-54 on a layup by Brock Harding a few minutes later.
The Cougars answered every time, never surrendering the lead. After Harding’s layup, Ramon Walker Jr. knocked down a 3-pointer that started an 8-0 spurt as Houston regained a 64-54 lead with 5:26 left.
The Cougars maintained a multiple possession lead down the stretch as they won their third straight over the Frogs.
Up next, Houston hosts Cincinnati on Saturday while TCU travels to Colorado on Sunday.

Orioles' Jackson Holliday (hand) likely out weeks after Opening Day
Sep 27, 2025; Bronx, New York, USA; Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday (7) at Yankee Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Wendell Cruz-Imagn Images Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jackson Holliday will miss Opening Day due to a broken hamate bone in his right hand, general manager Mike Elias announced on Wednesday morning.
Holliday, who sustained the injury during live batting practice last Friday, will undergo a procedure to address the issue on Thursday. His timeline for recovery likely will be measured in weeks, per Elias.
Holliday, 22, batted just .242 with 17 homers and 55 RBIs in 149 games last season.
He is the top overall pick of the 2022 MLB June Amateur Draft and the son of seven-time All-Star Matt Holliday.
New acquisition Blaze Alexander likely will take the younger Holliday’s place in the field.
Also on Wednesday, Elias announced third baseman Jordan Westburg is nursing a right oblique injury. The injury, however, is not expected to prevent Westburg from playing at the start of the regular season.

Report: Giants hire Brian Callahan as QBs coach
Tennessee Titans coach Brian Callahan exits the field after the game against the Indianapolis Colts at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, Sept. 21, 2025. Former Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan is being added to John Harbaugh’s coaching staff as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator for the New York Giants, ESPN reported Wednesday.
Callahan, 41, was fired by the Titans last October after a 1-5 start. Tennessee posted a 4-19 record under Callahan, who was hired by the Titans after five seasons as the Cincinnati Bengals’ offensive coordinator that included a three-point loss in Super Bowl LVI.
ESPN reported Callahan also interviewed with the Giants for the offensive coordinator position, which ultimately went to Matt Nagy. The latter was a former offensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs and head coach of the Chicago Bears.
Callahan, who will be coaching former first-round pick Jaxson Dart in his second season in the league, has extensive experience developing quarterbacks. He was the offensive coordinator for four seasons for Joe Burrow with the Bengals, was the quarterbacks coach in 2018 for Derek Carr with the Las Vegas Raiders and for two seasons for Matthew Stafford with the Detroit Lions.
In addition to Dart, Callahan will be working with veteran quarterback Jameis Winston.
Callahan and Nagy are part of an offensive staff that also includes former Rice University head coach Mike Bloomgren as offensive line coach and former offensive coordinators Greg Roman as senior offensive assistant and Tim Kelly as tight ends coach.
