ON TO THE SWEET 16! 🐾🏀🔥 The University of Houston men's basketball team defeated Illinois 68-53 to advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the third straight time DETAILS LET'S GO COOGS! 👏👏
Coming off last year’s run to the Final Four, the Cougars defeated Illinois 68-53 in second-round action on Saturday.
With Houston’s fans chanting “Sweet 16, Sweet 16″ in the final seconds, Edwards dropped one last 3-pointer and seconds later lifted Moore, another of Houston’s transfers, off the floor.For Illinois, it’s another year of deep disappointment. The fourth-seeded Fighting Illini were determined to go farther after being bumped by Loyola Chicago last year, but couldn’t get past the second round again.
It’s been that kind of season for the Cougars, who lost Marcus Sasser and Tramon Mark — two mainstays from last year’s semifinal team — but are one of 16 teams still alive for a national title,Both teams were tight in the early going, and the intense pressure seemed to squeeze the rims a little tighter, too.
Kyler Edwards added 15 points for Houston, a team often overlooked but making major noise again this March.
