Houston basketball is back, and isn't going anywhere under Kelvin Sampson. The Coogs arguably have their best shot at a national title since the famed Phi Slama Jama days. And they're doing it with a style of play that embodies the grind lifestyle of the Third Ward. Also, for Sampson, the program's resurgence is a re-validation of a legendary career that was once marred by NCAA violation.

This is the first time the University of Houston has graced the cover of Dave Campbell's Texas Basketball Magazine. The photo was taken by Mansfield-based John Hamilton shooting his third cover for the magazine.
