All it took was an over 7,000 mile round trip to the Hawaiian island of Oahu for Houston Cougar men's basketball to get the signature win/moment they desperately needed to close out non-conference play. The guys go in depth on the 3 wins from the Cougars' capture of the Diamond Head Classic championship.

On the subject of basketball, with the looming start of AAC play we look at our pre-season tiers and take an individual look at the 11 other schools ostensibly vying for the AAC crown. Plus, Cougar women's basketball closes out athletics in the 2010s with 2 games at the Empire Classic in the Bronx.

Finally, we take a look back at the high points of the 2010s and Houston Cougar athletics, what we've seen and where we hope Cougar athletics can be in the coming decade.
