Houston won a thriller on Thursday night and will face Michigan in the NCAA Tournament second round on Saturday night at 9:40 p.m. (eastern) on TBS.

The Cougars missed the NCAA Tournament last year after finishing 21-9 (12-6 AAC), but returned the core of last year’s team and punched their ticket this year with a No. 6 seed. After winning their first NCAA Tournament game since 1984 on Thursday, Houston will face Michigan for a trip to Los Angeles.
