UH looks past Rice
United Press International
HOUSTON — The 5th-
ranked Houston Cougars play
one of the Southwest Confer
ence’s newest spoilers Friday in a
bad spot on their schedule.
The Cougars, 15-2, play No. 3
Kentucky, 12-2, Sunday, and
one Houston player said on
Thursday it was impossible not
to be thinking about challenging
the Wildcats in a nationally tele
vised game in Lexington, Ky.
Other Cougars tried the im
possible.
“Do we play Kentucky?”
guard Reid Gettys said.
Coach Guy Lewis added:
“Somebody told me. But I want
to think about Rice.”
Houston hosts the crosstown
rival Owls, 6-8, who for the first
time in years are a legitimate
threat to finish in the confer
ence’s upper division. The
Cougars go for their 30th
straight win in SWC play.
Then on Saturday, the
Cougars fly to Lexington, Ky.,
for a long-awaited battle of the
nation’s best centers. It will be
Cougars 7-foot junior Akeem
Olajuwon against the Wildcats'
“aircraft carrier” front line of
Mel Turpin and Sam Bowie.
The Wildcats will discover
that the Cougars are not so
much the “Phi Slama Jama”
fraternity members that they
were last year. Their key to suc
cess against the top teams in the
country is the play of the
“Smother Brothers” trio of re
serve guards.
That group enters the game
as a unit and presses fullcourt at
all times. It is what has made
Houston 5-0 in SWC play.
Junior Eric Dickens is the
“Brothers” captain.
“I think we can put some
pressure on Kentucky,” he said.
The “Brothers” — Dickens,
senior Derek Giles and sopho
more Renaldo Thomas — have
“caused a ton of turnovers,”
team Sports Information Direc
tor Jay Goldberg said.
During the time the
s appeared

in
parts of five games, Houston has
outscored its opponents 92-61.
Starting guard Gettys, who
sits down when the “Brothers”
get up, lauds their efforts.
“I think it’s a key his year.
Those thiee guys have come in
off the bench and done a superb
job providing enthusiasm and
hustle, getting a lot of loose
balls,” he said.
The Cougars, since the loss to
the pros of forwards Clyde
Drexler and Larry Micheaux,
are down in rebounding and
way up in outside shooting. In
the last two games, however,
shooting forward Michael
Young is 11 of 28 from the field.
“I watched Kentucky
Auburn,” Young said. “I tfiink
the referees are going to let it be
a very physical game. If we get
out and play our type of ball-
game, we shouldn’t have any
problems. We have played some
tough games, but none as tough
as Kentucky will be.”
