Terrence Brown scores 26 points and makes key free throws late as Utah holds off Sam Houston for an 85-79 victory on Saturday night.

The Houston Cougars got themselves right back on track with a conference win on the road against the UCF Knights in a narrow 30-27 affair. The Cougars' win this past Friday night was much needed, especially after coming off the disastrous loss to the West Virginia Mountaineers the week prior.
