Texas A&M Suffers Blowout Loss To Houston, 88-57

Per ESPN: OKLAHOMA CITY -- — Emanuel Sharp scored 18 points, Chris Cenac Jr. had 17 points and nine rebounds, and Houston rolled past Texas A&M 88-57 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday to reach the Sweet 16 for the seventh consecutive year.

Milos Uzan added 15 points for the Cougars (30-6), the No. 2 seed in the South Region. Houston will play 2 miles away from its campus against either No. 3 seed Illinois or No. 11 seed VCU on Thursday, and coach Kelvin Sampson's squad — which lost in the national title game to Florida last year — again looks like an opponent nobody wants to play.

Houston became the fourth team and first since North Carolina in 2008 to win its first two March Madness games by 30 points or more.

“When you win a lot it’s because you have good players, and they’re pretty consistent with their effort and their discipline,” Sampson said. “We’re pretty good at both of those.”
