Houston's Terrance Arceneaux, who missed much of last season after Achilles surgery, is determined to battle through pain as the Cougars chase a national title.
UH's J'Wan Roberts, who missed the final two games of the Big 12 tournament with an ankle injury, said he's good to go when the NCAA Tournament begins Thursday.
Fifth-ranked UH will take the court Tuesday night at Arizona State with a chance to make some Big 12 history with its 12th straight road win in conference play.
With two games a week for a 10-week stretch, UH is taking advantage of rest days like those the Cougars had this week before Saturday's game at Colorado.
