Game Preview
No. 1 Houston will have questions aplenty when it battles ninth-seeded Auburn in a Round of 32 game in the Midwest Region of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday in Birmingham, Ala.
First and foremost for Houston (32-3) will be the health of All-American guard Marcus Sasser, who scored just five points before aggravating a groin injury in the Cougars’ tougher-than-expected, 63-52 win over 16th-seeded Northern Kentucky on Thursday. Houston’s chief facilitator Jamal Shead also struggled with a sore knee in the victory.
Both players began Friday’s press conference by telling reporters they were “100 percent” going to play Saturday. That doesn’t mean they are 100 percent healthy.
