There is a real chance that Houston could play Texas in the Elite 8 for a shot at a trip to Houston.
that's home field for texas...coogs don't travel to home games
In past years yes....without a doubt. But now? The Cougars are doing it for the City of Houston......and the city is behind them.
The University of Houston has some of the same advantages/disadvantages that schools like Memphis, Miami, Louisville....etc have.
When you are mediocre the fan support is not there. The fans in your hometown will act like they don't know who you are.
When you are great the bandwagon gets bigger and bigger, and then the city comes out to support you.
They city of Houston will come out to support the Cougars the more they win.
Cougar High knows what's at stake. They are shooting for Final Four #7. They are doing it for the city.
