Official watch party set for Avenida Houston
HOUSTON – Houston Men's Basketball fans are invited to cheer on the No. 5 seed Cougars as Houston First Corp. will host official UH watch parties at Avenida Houston throughout the NCAA Tournament. Houston will face top-seed Arizona at 8:40 p.m. CT Thursday.
Attendees must register for the free watch party tickets by visiting www.uhcougars.com/tickets. Doors will open 90 minutes prior to tip-off.
The event, emceed by KHOU, will feature a 24-foot viewing screen, music, beverages, games, prizes as well as appearances from the UH Spirit team. For the matchup against the Wildcats, a second big screen will be provided, offering an expanded viewing area for fans in attendance.
"Last year's turnout was quite a success, so we look forward to welcoming fans back to the heart of downtown at Avenida Houston," Houston First President & CEO Michael Heckman said. "As Houston prepares to host the 2023 NCAA Final Four, the team's latest run in the tournament will provide great momentum into next year. We wish our Coogs the best of luck, and hope to be celebrating an NCAA Championship victory in a few weeks."
Houston is making its 23rd NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. For just the fourth time in school history, the Cougars will compete in four straight NCAA Tournaments. Houston swept The American's conference regular season and tournament championships.
