Houston has firmly established itself as a top contender with a resume bolstered by significant wins and consistent dominance, particularly within their conference play. The Cougars have exhibited their prowess against high-caliber opponents; their marquee victories against teams like Texas A&M and Kansas—both snatched in a decisive fashion—are testament to their ability to control games against formidable competition. Even their rare losses, notably in a tight away game against Iowa State, showcased a resilience that keeps every contest close. Moreover, their defense has been nothing short of elite, consistently stifling the offense of every team they've encountered, turning potentially competitive matchups into showcases of their defensive tenacity. Their performance against high-ranking teams, coupled with their iron-clad defense, indicates tournament durability. With a philosophy built on defense and disciplined offense, Houston has proven they have the tools necessary to make a deep run when the brackets are drawn.
