On March 31, 1984, UH defeated Virginia in Seattle in the Final Four. It is the last win for the Coogs in the NCAA Tournament. It has been a loooooong time since we tasted an NCAA win. You can watch the Virginia game here but below are the starting line-ups and UH clenching the game in GoCoog.com’s first video montage.

We’ve only made one NCAA Tournament since 1992 and have only played in 4 NCAA games since the 1984 Final Four (87, 90, 92, 2010).
Coogs are 10-9 in first round games in our history. Our last 1st round win was over LaTech in 1984 in Memphis. This will be just the 4th game for UH in the West Region and 42nd game all-time in the Tournament.
