Epic Showdown Looms: Which Powerhouse Will Seize the Elusive Elite Eight Spot?

Epic Showdown Looms: Which Powerhouse Will Seize the Elusive Elite Eight Spot?

Houston is another team you might be able to make an argument for being the best in the NCAA Tournament. In their two games, they have also barely broken a sweat. In fairness to them, they’ve also faced a 15-seed and a 10-seed. They beat Idaho by 31 points, and then they beat Texas A&M by 31 points as well. Houston has had one bad stretch this season, dropping three straight games to Iowa State, Arizona, and Kansas. Those three games were relatively close, with only the Kansas game being decided by more than seven points. The Cougars are a tough team that relies on defense to demoralize their opponent. They switch very well, guard the three-point line, and give up very few good looks. In those three losses, they didn’t shoot particularly well, but they also lost the points in the paint battle (with Kansas tying them). It isn’t a complex game. Limit open threes, and keep people from scoring in the paint.
