Houston, Texas – When it’s time for a crunch, UH Senior Marcus Sasser is at his best. Sasser and the Cougars were ranked fourth for most of the season. Finishing at the top in early April is what it’s all about. Sasser is ready to lead the Cougars back into the Final Four, which will be played just miles away from the University’s Houston campus in two months. “It’s going to be one in a lifetime to play in the Final Four in your hometown college. It’s extra motivation to try to come back and play in front of our fans.”
Sasser, who is averaging 17 points a game this season, was nominated for Houston Sports Authority Player of the Year. Nice rebounding season after missing half of his junior year due to injury.
Basketball has been a big part of Sasser’s life since he first dribbled the ball at the age of three. His uncle Jason and Grill both played in the NBA, and Jason was Marcus’ high school coach. “I would always ask him for advice and advice. He would always give me the right answer, not the one I wanted to hear. He would always tell me what I needed to hear to improve my performance.”
Sasser is focused on leading the Cougars to the top of the College Hoops world and is focused on graduating in May. “My time at UH has been great, I feel like I’m becoming a better basketball player and a better human being.”
