Mathematically speaking, Houston is going

[missouridawg]

To have close to the easiest (by seed) path a to a final four possible.

They will face a 15, 10, 11, and a 12.

A 1 seed could draw a 16, 9, 13, 15.

A 2 seed could draw a 15, 10, 14, and 16 (though we all know a 16 can’t do 3 in a row to make this happen).

Coincidentally, Alabama’s Elite 8 path is exactly like Houston’s. 15, 10, 11. They’ll get a 1/4 next if they win today.

Houston local celeb and furniture king "Matress Mack" McInvale has bet $1 million on Houston to win it. By the way, I believe his dad went to MSU.

His dad did. Mack spent his early years living in Starkville.

Is it just me or does it seem like some of those Houston players have been there for like 6 years?
