Where to Watch UH's Final Four Game Tonight
Coogs super-fans, like Katina Jackson (pictured, during the 2023 season) the UH Senior Associate Athletics Director, are relishing the Coogs’ climb to the top. Katina Jackson cheers on the Coogs with her husband Gil and two of their sons, Alex (on left) and Scott (on right).
The UH Coogs are so back, and Houston is hyped. UH took home a well-earned win this Saturday, 70-67, against Duke, scoring nine points in the final 33 seconds. Even Duke coach Jon Scheyer had to admit, "Houston is a team that doesn't quit."
The University of Houston Men's Basketball team has reached the Final Four for the second time in this century (the first was in 2021). Read more about the Coogs' journey back to the top in this 2023 story from Michelle Groogan.
