TULSA, Okla. -- Houston’s fans chanted “Sweet 16” in the final minute of the Cougars’ NCAA Tournament win over Ohio State. The celebration was long overdue — 35 years, to be exact — since the Cougars have made this trip. It is Houston’s 13 trip in school history.
Corey Davis scored 21 points to help Houston defeat Ohio State 74-59 in a second-round Midwest Region game Sunday night inside the BOK Center. It marked the Cougars’ 33rd win of the season — breaking the record set by the 1983-84 Phi Slamma Jama team for the most wins in a season.
