Marcus Sasser scored 24 of his game-high 30 points in the second half as top-seeded Houston advanced to play fourth-seeded Cincinnati — a 84-54 winner over Temple — in Saturday’s semifinals.
UH guard Marcus Sasser, who came within one point of his career high with 30 points, takes a shot against East Carolina in the second half on Friday.FORT WORTH — The University of Houston is considered a lock for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and a national title contender.
The Cougars improved to 30-2, reaching the 30-win mark in consecutive seasons for the first time since Phi Slama Jama finished national runner-up in 1982-83 and 1983-84. “There’s not a lot of reasons he should be happy,” point guard Jamal Shead said. “What we emphasize, we did not go a good job today.”
After running away with the regular-season title — and a sure-bet to be one of the four No. 1 seeds announced Sunday — the Cougars started slow Friday, missing nine straight shots and going 6½ minutes without a field goal to cling to a 23-21 halftime lead.
