The Cougars lost in last year’s Sweet 16, but All-American point guard Jamal Shead suffered an ankle injury and missed the entire second half in the loss to Duke. In 2021 and 2022, Houston was eliminated by teams that had a defense ranked in the top 25.
Fletcher Loyer scored eight of Purdue's first 10 points and goes into halftime with 12 points after hitting 2 of 3 3s. Milos Uzan leads Houston with 12 points and was the only Cougars starter to score a field goal through the game's first 15 minutes. He already has a season-high in made 3-pointers on a 4-of-6 first-half effort.
