Houston advances to its fifth straight Sweet 16 after a resilient 100-95 overtime win after Texas A&M in the Round of 32. The Cougar became the first team to win a tournament game with four players fouling out since 1987.
A last-second Aggie three forced UH into an overtime battle without senior guard L.J Cryer and junior forward Ja’Vier Francis, who fouled out during regulation. The Cougar’s leading scorer Redshirt sophomore guard Emanuel Sharp joined them on the bench with 3:41 left in overtime, forcing junior guard Ramon Walker to play his first minutes of the night.
