A brief primer on Houston Cougar basketball
Tonight, either the No. 11 Ohio State Buckeyes or No. 3 Houston Cougars will punch their ticket to Kansas City and be part of this year’s Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.
To get to the Second Round, the Bucks held off Iowa State, upsetting the No. 6 seed by three points, 62-59. Houston, on the other hand, cruised in their matchup against No. 14 seed Georgia State, 84-55.
Coach Kelvin Sampson has the Cougars at 31-3 on the season, but don’t get it twisted, this isn’t the only year where the program has piled up the wins. Let’s take a quick look at some of the highlights in the history of Houston Cougar basketball.
