Houston Cougars vs San Diego State Aztecs
It's hard to find a more intriguing second-round game in the NCAA Tournament than the one between sixth-seeded Houston and No. 11 seed San Diego State that will be played Thursday in a West Region battle at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kan.
The Cougars (26-7, runners-up in the American Athletic Conference Tournament) and the Aztecs (22-10, winners of the Mountain West championship) have been on a roll over the second half of the season. Now it's just a matter of keeping that momentum in a win-or-go-home scenario and when the spotlights are the brightest.
