SAN ANTONIO — For a second consecutive year, UH men’s basketball has surpassed expectations from those on the outside looking in and advanced to the Elite Eight after leading all 40 minutes in its 72-60 victory over Arizona in the Sweet 16.
The Cougars now turn their attention to the Wildcats once again — this time, Villanova.
Outlook on Villanova
Led by head coach Jay Wright, the Wildcats are riding an eight-game winning streak during the month of March.
Having won 22 of its last 25 games since Dec. 17, Villanova has quietly been one of the hottest teams in the country and its recent tournament success could spell trouble for UH.
