Three weeks after men’s basketball’s 81-62 loss to Georgia Institute of Technology in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament, the Houston athletics front office views the postseason performance as a positive for the entire organization.
Houston traveled to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech in the NIT opening round on March 16. After a 22-8 season and the first postseason bid for the Cougars since 2010, many expected them to go further in the tournament. As a result of their early exit, the Cougars are finding a way to understand that they still had a good season.
