No. 2 Houston, No. 8 Kansas each seek bounce backs in marquee matchup

Houston has dropped consecutive games but coach Kelvin Sampson isn't the least bit worried.

The No. 2 Cougars - who will drop in the rankings Monday afternoon - look to end their short slide when they face No. 8 Kansas in Big 12 play at Lawrence, Kan. on Monday evening.

Houston (23-4, 11-3 Big 12) lost to No. 6 Iowa State on Feb. 16 and No. 4 Arizona on Saturday in back-to-back Big 12 showdowns.

"Don't overreact to your losses," Sampson said after Saturday's 73-66 loss to the Wildcats in Tucson, Ariz.
