Houston 67 Oregon State 61

Sampson leads his second squad to a Final Four by downing the Beavers last night.

- Happy for Sampson. Dude can coach.

- This is a classic example of why I love/hate the NCAA tournament. Houston will be applauded for making it through their region having not played anyone higher than a 10 seed.

Not their fault lol. Maybe some of those others were seeded too high? They won the games they needed to win. Think Baylor may be a little too much for them.

They are a very, very solid Final Four team, wouldn’t have mattered who they played.

My overall point is the silliness of evaluating success on a single-year, single elimination tournament. Outside a few teams, there is not much difference between #5 and #45.

Houston is having a good run but this thing is going to come down to Gonzaga and Baylor battling for the title.

Agreed.  Houston is a really good team.
