J'Wan Roberts - Produces with rugged effort Roberts registered 16 points (3-10 FG, 10-12 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 31 minutes during Monday's 69-61 win over Texas Tech. Impact Roberts connected on just 3-of-10 shots but made up for it by getting to the charity stripe 12 times and converting on 10 to provide 16 points during Houston's big road win. Roberts added seven boards, three assists, ticked the box score with a steal and a block and helped to hold star-forward JT Toppin to just 14 points on 18 shot attempts. It was the seventh time this season Roberts has topped the 15-point barrier and the senior forward is averaging a career-high 11.4 points per game. However, after shooting no worse than 59.6-percent from the floor over the previous three seasons, that production has shrunk to a career-low 51.8-percent this season, including the most recent stretch of games in which he's shot 30-percent or worse in three of the last four contests.
