Syracuse vs Houston 10:00 ET
Cougars (-) over Orange- No. 2 seed Houston was fortunate to escape Rutgers pressure defense out-scoring the Scarlet Knights 14-2 down the stretch to eek out a 63-60 victory. Syracuse an 11-seed is familiar with double-digit seeds in the NCAA's and have made the Sweet-16 under coach Jim Boeheim 20 times last winning the gold led by freshman Carmelo Anthony. Houston is seeded No.2 for a reason despite not having played the schedule the level of Syracuse they have won nine straight and will smother Buddy Boeheim on defense. Take HOUSTON!
