Game Preview
Houston players and coaches are saying all the right things about playing Longwood on Friday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament’s South Region.
“We’ve seen in the past a 16 seed beat a 1 seed,” guard L.J. Cryer said. “You can’t really look at the number. At the end of the day, everyone is equal.”
But not everything appears to be equal as the top-seeded Cougars (30-4) take on 16th-seeded Longwood (21-13). And Houston’s last game might make things even tougher for the Lancers in their second NCAA appearance.
