TOP-SEEDED COUGARS
For a school-record sixth straight season, the University of Houston Men's Basketball program is competing in the NCAA Tournament and, for fifth second consecutive year, the Cougars have reached at least the Sweet 16.

Sophomore guard Emanuel Sharp started overtime with a 3-pointer that put Houston ahead to stay as the top-seeded Cougars advanced to the Sweet 16 back in Texas by topping No. 9 seed Texas A&M 100-95 on Sunday night. The Cougars improved to 8-2 as a No. 1 seed. They now have won at least 32 games for the fifth time.

Under the leadership of Head Coach Kelvin Sampson, the Cougars captured the Big 12 regular-season championship with a 15-3 mark during its first year in the league. It was the program's fifth conference regular-season title in the last six seasons.
