Chase McCarty Injury Update Arrives After Houston’s Season-Opening Win

This is a big season for Chase McCarty. In his third year on campus with the Houston Cougars, the talented forward has moved into the starting lineup at UH — after a redshirt year and a campaign spent entirely off the bench. Houston opened its season on Monday night against La Salle and cruised to a comfortable win — but for McCarty, it wasn’t a comfortable night. An injury to McCarty threatened to ruin his season before it even really got rolling.
