Marcus Sasser Per FOX 26’s Mark Berman (groin) is a game-time decision ahead of Houston’s Thursday game against Northern Kentucky.

Earlier, Sasser was practicing before the 2023 AAC Championship Finals, when Terence Arsenault started instead. However, his questionable condition does not guarantee his return on Thursday. If Sasser can’t, the Cougars will have to beat someone at No. 16 without him, which shouldn’t be a tall order, though a bust is certainly possible.
