HOUSTON (AP) Emanuel Sharp scored 14 points, J’Wan Roberts added 12 and No. 12 Houston beat TCU 65-46 on Monday night for its seventh straight win.

L.J Cryer had 10 points for Houston (11-3, 3-0 Big 12), which shot 48% and went 8 of 19 on 3-pointers. The Cougars won their 31st consecutive home game.

Noah Reynolds scored 19 points and Vasean Allette added 11 for TCU (8-6, 1-2). The Horned Frogs shot 43% but struggled from deep, finishing 3 of 18 on 3s.

TCU: The Horned Frogs need more production from their bench. TCU’s starters scored every point until the final 30 seconds, and the reserves finished with two points.

Houston: The Cougars were streaky. They started 6 of 6 from the field while opening a 13-4 lead, but followed it up by shooting 6 for 24 as TCU cut into the deficit. Houston then hit nine straight field goals and pulled away.

With the Cougars leading 29-26 early in the second half, Roberts made a layup that sparked a 9-0 run. Houston's lead never dropped below double digits again.

Houston forced TCU into a season-high 19 turnovers and held the Horned Frogs to four assists on 20 field goals.

Houston visits Kansas State on Saturday, and TCU hosts BYU the same day.
