On Sunday, we’ll find out where and when the No. 1 University of Houston Cougars will start their road in the NCAA Tournament. Selection Sunday will reveal the full field of 64 and the play-in game as teams from around the country get to see their spot in the brackets, in hopes it will lead them to Houston for this year’s Final Four.
You can find out when we all do as CBS Sports provides coverage of the bracket reveal, which can be seen live on KHOU 11 at 5 p.m. It’s a full hour of the selections, followed by a special edition of KHOU 11 News that you can see on KHOU 11+ and all of our other streaming platforms.
There are plenty of Texas schools with their eyes on the prize. Texas Southern University is one win away from an automatic bid in. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi is in, and the University of Texas, Baylor and Texas A&M all have NCAA title aspirations, as well.
The brackets all lead to Houston. And KHOU 11 is your home for the Final Four this year!
If you’re not in front of a TV for Selection Sunday, download the KHOU 11 app and we’ll let you know where the University of Houston lands.
