The Houston Cougars tangle with the Miami Hurricanes on Friday, March 24 in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).

All-American guard Marcus Sasser, who has been dealing with a groin injury, and Houston point guard Jamal Shead, who has had a sore knee, said they are nearing full strength as they prepare to face the Hurricanes.

Sasser missed the AAC title game and the second half of the Cougars’ NCAA Tournament opener, though he returned to score 22 against Auburn in the second round. Shead played both games last week and expects to be fully healthy.

Miami guard Nijel Pack’s transfer from Kansas State came with an $800,000 package in NIL money, one of the first deals widely publicized in the name, image and likeness era. And while Pack acknowledged the pressure to live up to expectations, he also said the publicity has “allowed me to look at things differently, made me mentally stronger.”
