- GET THEM BEFORE ITβS TOO LATE! Houston releases exclusive Cougars bobbleheads ahead of March Madness run
After a historic regular season and tournament wins over Longwood and Texas A&M, the teamβs quest for its first championship in program history continues.
Their next test is the Sweet 16, as the Coogs will take on the Duke Blue Devils at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Friday at 8:39 p.m.
Just like last week, the Houston Cougarsβ website is inviting fans to catch the game at the official team watch party at Avenida Houston. Fans are encouraged to bring a chair and blanket to watch the action on a massive 24-foot screen!
Below, you can find a list of additional watch parties you can attend and send the Coogs good vibes!
