No. 1 Houston has dominated every challenge so far this season.Now comes the Cougars’ first game away from home. It’s against a ranked opponent, no less.Houston (3-0) will take on No. 22 Auburn (3-0) on a neutral court — perhaps more accurately described as a semi-neutral court — on Sunday afternoon in Birmingham, Ala.Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson said he was excited to see how his young team responds.”Everybody at some point is going to have to play a road game,” Sampson said. “I chose this schedule to challenge them. If we lose some of the games, they’ll learn from it. It’s not the end of the world. If you win some of these games, you’ve got to learn from those, too.”… Playing in these environments is going to be new for freshmen. I’m anxious to see how they react to all of it.”Houston has posted double-digit wins over Lehigh, Towson and Oakland to start the season.Emanuel Sharp leads the team with 17.3 points per game in his first three games. Kingston Flemings is next with 15.7 points per game, and Joseph Tugler is averaging 10.0 points.Sampson credited Sharp with leading his younger teammates.”Emanuel has run the gauntlet, having redshirted, then coming off the bench as a freshman, moving into the starting lineup as a sophomore, establishing himself as a junior and now going into his senior year,” Sampson said. “(He has) experienced just about everything he possibly can experience.”The winning, the stages, the moments. Big games, big environments. He’s seen it all.”
