Go Coogs! The men's basketball team is headed to the Elite 8 for the second straight year. Can we get a WHOSE HOUSE?!
The American Athletic Conference champion Cougars became the second former Southwest Conference team to knock a No. 1 seed out of this NCAA Tournament in a matter of hours. Top overall seed Gonzaga lost 74-68 to Arkansas, which went to the SEC in 1991, five years before the SWC's final season.
Houston lost four starters from last season and then lost Marcus Sasser, the lone returner and leading scorer who broke his left foot before Christmas. Sophomore guard Tramon Mark had a season-ending shoulder injury before that. Those 33 wins left Tommy Lloyd one win shy of the most in NCAA history for a first-year coach. He took over the Wildcats after 21 seasons as an assistant coach for Mark Few at Gonzaga.
Moore, a graduate transfer, had a career-high 21 points in Houston's second-round win over Illinois, but his early 3 to make it 5-0 Houston in the first two minutes was all he'd score against the Wildcats. He committed his third personal foul with 9:22 left and played only 17 minutes overall.
