Houston guard Aubrey Coleman had a tough day from the field against UTEP, but found other ways to contribute to the Cougars first Conference USA title. He had 13 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and four steals.
The Cougars were able to win despite Coleman going 4 of 20 from the field. He missed all four of his three-point attempts and was just 5 of 8 from the line. Kelvin Lewis scored 28 to make up for Coleman, and Coleman bothered Randy Culpepper into a 8 of 20 shooting game. The NCAA tournament will feature this year's best fantasy player.
