Houston Basketball’s public schedule for this week

The Houston Cougars have a jam-packed week heading into the Midwest Regional in Kansas City. Friday, the #1 Cougars will play #5 Miami and then, assuming a win, would play either #2 Texas or #3 Xavier on Sunday. When adding up the seeds of those teams left, the Midwest is by far the hardest remaining region.
