No. 1 seed Houston survives upset scare, holding off eighth-seeded Gonzaga to reach the Sweet 16
Witchita, was.
J’wan Roberts added 18 points, and Milos Ozan achieved two free throws with 2.1 seconds, which gave the ugir (32-4) its fifteenth victory in a row and pushes them to the regional semi-finals against the number 4 on Friday night in Indianapolis.
Houston also finished in the Gonzaga race of nine Sweet Sweet respectively, which was the tallest active series in the country.
“It is not only winning the game,” said Kogar’s coach, Kevish Sampson. “It strikes a great program like Gonzaga.”
Bulldogs (26-9) 76-67 was late with slightly more than two minutes when Graham Ike has two free launches to start offering their return, most of which ended quietly. When he turned the weight of the ball and released the battle of Khaldev, two free throws on its own, the Badagg decreased to 77-76, with a remaining 21 seconds.
Houston got the ball to Cryer, who was concerned, and made each of his free rumors to extend the lead. At the other end, Ja’vier Francis’s Battle Battle tied 3 points from the corner, and Ozan dropped his unpleasant footage of the victory.
“Gonzaga is good like anyone we played throughout the year,” Sampson said. “If they were planted elsewhere, this team would have had an opportunity to reach Elite Eight, or maybe at the end of the four. It’s good.”
Ike ended 27 points for Ballaz. The battle recorded 17 and Ryan Nimbard had 10 points and 11 decisive passes.
Gonza coach Mark Mark said: “It ended being just a great basketball game, especially the way our men fought on their way back. I am very proud of the way I was stuck,” said Gonza Mark coach Mark Mark. “Houston was everything and more than we thought it would be.”
Given that no program won more than Gonzaga and Houston during the past eight seasons, it seemed as if the second round match in the Middle West region was appropriate on the second weekend.
Or even the last four, where the bullge and the beacon were on both sides of the bow in 2021.
However, all Houston seemed to deserve both descendants 1 and Junza in eighth. The Coger emphasized their physical domination of the permanent power of the Western coast, while Kerir-the 12 large player in the year-poured 16 points in the first half to give Houston 35-27 at the end of the first half.
Roberts, who seized his ankle in the championship last week, took over in the second half. The best player in the history of the chopped began on his way to the baskets, and this allowed theog to keep their progress.
He made Gonzaga permanently one, but it was never able to overcome it.

Gonzaga ranked second at the national level in scoring at 86.7 points for each game, and this exceeded in 89-68 defeats from Georgia in the first round. But Al -Baldag has finished this mark against the defense of the Houston brand.
Houston managed to break her stars during an unbalanced victory over Sue Edwardzville on Thursday. These fresh legs seem to bear fruit in the final minutes on Saturday, when Gonzaga was trying to return to the game.
Even then
Cougars will play the role of tiles in a place in the eighth elite.
