It didn't matter that Houston had to play a virtual road game. Or that two of the Cougars' best players were hampered by injuries and foul trouble.
NCAA Basketball: NCAA Tournament Second Round-Auburn vs Houston
With first-team All-American Marcus Sasser battling a lingering groin injury and point guard Jamal Shead coping with a balky knee, other Houston players picked up the slack. Junior guard Tramon Mark unleashed a career-high 26 points, nearly triple his season-long average. Prized freshman Jarace Walker and fellow forward J’Wan Roberts anchored the Cougars’ interior defense, combining for 11 of their team’s 12 blocked shots.
Houston’s path to the NCAA tournament’s second weekend was more treacherous than other top seeds. The NCAA tournament selection committee gifted Auburn the chance to play close to home in Birmingham, turning the top-seeded Cougars’ second-round matchup into a true road game.
