Houston is playing in its fifth Sweet 16 in a row, its best March Madness run since making three consecutive Final Four appearances in the Phi Slama Jam era four decades ago. The Cougars were Big 12 regular-season champions this season after making the move into that power conference.

Houston’s 5 Sweet 16s in a row its best run since Phi Slama Jam. Duke has done a lot since thenHouston guard Jamal Shead grabs a loose ball away from Longwood guard DA Houston during the first half of a first-round college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament, Friday, March 22, 2024, in Memphis, Tenn.

Since then, there have since been only two NCAA tournaments played without Duke, which has five national championships. Second-year Blue Devils coach Jon Scheyer won a title as a player in 2010, and was an assistant coach for their most recent in 2015. “We knew how good we are, but with the two losses, we didn’t get a win for, like, two weeks. It can kind of get a little unconfident,” Duke guard Jeremy Roach said. “I think getting that first win against Vermont was a big thing, and then it just leads us to ... where we are right now. We just have to keep that confidence going.”The only double-digit seed still playing is N.C. State, with the same No. 11 seed that Smart’s VCU team had during its improbable Final Four run in 2011.
