Houston won't have to wait very long to get started in its opening round game at the NCAA Tournament.
In fact, the Cougars will be one of the early games on Thursday, the first full day of tournament play.
Houston, the No. 1 seed out of the Midwest Region, will face No. 16 seed SIU Edwardsville in a first round game Thursday at Wichita, Kan. That game will tip off at 1 p.m. Central time, the first of four games being played at Intrust Bank Arena.
