Houston dominates Tennessee, punches ticket to Final Four

The Houston Cougars' formidable defense helped keep the Tennessee Volunteers in check during Sunday's Elite Eight game. 

The nation's stingiest defense held the Vols to 15 first-half points, the fewest in an Elite Eight game since 1979. The 69-50 victory secured Houston's first trip to the Final Four since 2021.

The Cougars have now advanced to the Final Four seven times throughout the program's history. The victory also extended the country's longest active winning streak to 17 games.
