Senior Galen Robinson Jr. achieved a career milestone in playing in his 135th game as a Cougar, the most of any player in history. | Ahmed Gul/The CougarHouston defeated Ohio State 74-59 on Sunday to make it to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in 35 years.
Ohio State hung in the game for a good while, but No. 3 Houston overwhelmed the No. 11 seed with its tough defense.
Making it to the final sixteen teams was especially sweet for the members of the team who were there in last year’s last second loss to Michigan when there were still 32 teams in play, said head coach Kelvin Sampson.
