HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The University of Houston Cougars are now among the top five men's basketball teams in the country, notching their highest ranking in 37 years.
Only Gonzaga, Baylor, Villanova and Michigan are ranked better this week than 15-1 Houston.
On Sunday, the Cougars won another convincing game in their schedule, this time against SMU. Marcus Sasser, who, along with Quentin Grimes, has led UH to the No. 5 ranking, scored a game-high 19 in the 70-48 win over the Mustangs.

On Monday, UH climbed one spot to No. 5 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. The team was helped by two wins last week by 20 or more points, as well as the previously fifth-ranked Texas Longhorns' one-point loss last week against Oklahoma.

Houston has just one game in the upcoming week: a road matchup against East Carolina, the last place team in the American Athletic Conference.
The eight remaining games in the Coogs' schedule include two matchups against Memphis and a test against the second-best team in the conference, Wichita State.
As for the history of 2020-21 Cougars' ranking, UH hasn't ranked this high since the Phi Slama Jama era team of 1983-84 was No. 2.
And history suggests a No. 5 rank would typically put Houston in position for a top-two seed in the NCAA tournament in March.

A New York judge on Friday increased pressure on Donald J. Trump’s family business and several associates, ordering them to give state investigators documents in a civil inquiry into whether the company misstated assets to get bank loans and tax benefits.
It was the second blow that the judge, Arthur F. Engoron of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, had dealt to Trump’s company in recent weeks.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell back in 2017 famously said, 'Winners make policy. Losers go home.' Given that, why shouldn't Democrats, why shouldn't President Biden be as tactically ruthless as Republicans have been in pushing priorities that he champion.
NO UNITY! Biden won!
