Chron sports section blows Cougar win total

Here's the headline for the Chron coverage of UH basketball's victory over Marist:

Pane lifts UH by Marist

Late trey helps Cougars earn first win of year

There's a big problem with this headline, since the win was the Cougars' SECOND win of the year.

The error is repeated in the story:

Robert McKiver had 17 points and sank three 3-pointers for the Cougars (1-2), who were coming off a 73-72 loss to Virginia Commonwealth in the tournament opener on Thursday.

The Coogs' record is 2-1, not 1-2.

Whoops!

UPDATE (11-17-2007): The reporting has been corrected this morning.
