Wolverines end Cougars’ tournament dreams with buzzer-beater
All eyes were on senior guard Rob Gray Jr. after he scored a career-high 39 points against San Diego State in the tournament’s first round. Gray led the Cougars with 23 points in the loss against Michigan. | Thomas Dwyer/The CougarAfter 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.
