Univ. of Houston fans, this could be huge: by stepping back from hosting duties, UH just opened the door for the Cougars to actually play the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight right at Toyota Center—just a quick drive from campus. The NCAA wouldn’t let them both host and play, so now another local school (probably Rice) will handle the behind-the-scenes work. Imagine the energy if UH makes it that far and gets to battle for a Final Four spot with a true home crowd. How much of a difference do you think that local support could make for the team? #Sports #HoustonCougars #NCAATournament
