Fans support Cougars downtown during March Madness

Houston punched its ticket to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in 35 years after its 74-59 victory over Ohio State Sunday night, and its devoted fans at the Avenida Houston watch party cheered the team on the whole way through.

Hundreds of the Houston supporters poured into the plaza adjacent to Discovery Green in downtown Houston to attend the party being hosted by the University in conjunction with KHOU.

The night began as any other night in the area, but as the 7:40 p.m. tip-off neared, a wave of scarlet began to takeover 1001 Avenida de Las Americas.
