A town still glowing from the Astros' World Series championship has to deal with a Rockets team with lots of promise but nowhere close to those heights.

The University of Houston men's basketball team remained unbeaten after winning its sixth straight game of the season on Saturday. On the other end of the sports landscape, the Houston Texans' second win of 2022 continues to get away from them. Coach Lovie Smith's club dropped its ninth game of the season on Sunday.
What does the future hold for these two teams with Houston in their name?
