The 2020-21 season was a historic one for Houston basketball. Not only did the Cougars put together their sixth consecutive 20-win season, but UH won its first conference tournament title since 2010 and earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, its highest seeding since 1984.
But all these accomplishments mean nothing in March, as every team is given a blank slate. History has proven that anything from a 16th seed knocking off the tournament’s overall top seed to an eight and 11th seed both making the Final Four in the same year can happen during this month of madness.
