What's the interest in the Final Four here in Houston now that UH and other Texas teams aren't in the mix?
The last time the city of Houston hosted a Final Four in 2016, it was, from a college sports perspective, pretty spectacular. It pitted a pair of one seeds and a pair of two seeds with the championship game between Villanova and North Carolina featuring a buzzer-beating thriller. Compare that to 2011 when the last four games of the NCAA men's basketball tournament was here. That year, featured three, four, eight and 11 seeded teams.
Unfortunately, this year feels a bit like a bracket busting repeat of 2011, at least in terms of the featured teams with one four seed — welcome back, UConn — two fives in San Diego State and Miami, and ninth seeded Florida Atlantic University. No one, two or three seeds including the favored-by-many University of Houston Cougars or the two seed UT Longhorns, who fell in the elite eight — also to Miami.
