After a heart-racing game against San Diego, Houston had another thriller in its 64-63 defeat by the Michigan Wolverines in the NCAA tournament’s second round on Saturday.
Houston started on the right foot with sophomore forward Breaon Brady scoring a pair of layups to take the lead.
Michigan started extremely cold and made none of its first six shots, all of them 3-pointers, and only a single free throw in the first six minutes.
The Cougars’ guards struggled early due to the Wolverines’ size advantage, and most of the team’s scoring in the first ten minutes came from the forwards.
