Wichita State scored first and it wasn’t until 16:59 on the clock that Houston scored to tie it at 2. Houston would find a groove getting a 15-11 lead halfway through the first half.
Houston stayed on the attack increasing their lead to 9 mid-way through Wichita State would find a groove eventually and cut into the Cougar lead 26-22 with 5 minutes to play in the first half.

Houston takes a 6 point lead into halftime shooting 40% from the field being led by Corey Davis Jr. who finished the half with 12 points.
