Terrance Arceneaux granted hardship waiver for 2023-2024 season

Big news for Kelvin Sampson and the Houston Cougars basketball team as shooting guard Terrance Arceneaux was granted an NCAA hardship waiver for the 2023-2024 season.

He will now compete as a sophomore this year, and still has three years left of eligibility. Arceneaux suffered an Achilles injury last season. Before his injury, he played just 11 games for the Cougars.

His freshman season was a productive one. He was named to the All-Freshman team in the AAC. He started in the conference title game after the Cougars lost Marcus Sasser. Arceneaux scored nine points in the game.

During that season, he played just shy of 14 minutes per game and averaged 3.7 points. Arceneaux came to Houston out of Beaumont Texas. He led his high school team to a Class 5A state title. During that season he scored 15.1 points per game.

He chose Houston over schools such as Oklahoma , Texas A&M and UNLV.  The Cougars are once again going to be very good under Sampson’s leadership. One of the most talented players in the league returns for the Cougars in LJ Cryer, out of Katy Texas.

The Cougars will start their 2024-2025 season against Jackson State on November 4th. The Cougars will then play in The BattleGround 2k24 at the Toyota Center against the Auburn Tigers on November 9th.
