Fabian White Jr. scored 16 of his career high-tying 21 points in the first half and No. 6 Houston beat Tulane 73-62 on Wednesday night for its 11th straight victory.

White, a fifth-year graduate senior, also surpassed 1,000 points in his career at Houston (19-2, 8-0 American) and finished with eight rebounds.

"I’m celebrating the win more than 1,000 points," White said. "Thank you to all my teammates getting me open and getting me good shots."

Josh Carlton added 14 points, nine rebounds and three blocks despite being in foul trouble throughout the game. Taze Moore had 12 points, five rebounds and six assists, and Ramon Walker Jr. scored 11 points.

"Kyler (Edwards) played 40 minutes; Taze played 38 (minutes), but that’s not going to change," Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said. "We don’t have any depth. That’s why what we’re doing is not a beauty contest. It’s a great win. Period. Did we shoot well? No. But, this time next time week when you look at our record, it’s going to count as W, and that’s all I care about right now."

Houston shot 46% but made 8 of 31 on 3-pointers. The Cougars won their 37th straight home game — the second longest streak in the nation behind Gonzaga.
