From ESPN Research: Prairie View A&M (@PVAMU_MBB) is the 3rd team to win an NCAA tournament game following a season of 5 wins or fewer since the tournament expanded to 64 in 1985. Previous two, Iowa State & Fairleigh Dickinson, won multiple games, incl FDU's upset of #1 seed Purdue in 2023

Houston guard Milos Uzan to @PaperCityMag on giving all his teammates custom Beats headphones, the chip from last season's finish, potential of this group: "This team, I feel like we haven't played our best basketball yet for a full 40 minutes. And I think this team can definitely do it. This team is special. For us to not play our best basketball yet and we're 28-6 still, that speaks to just how good we are. And how much better we can be."

Acknowledging this is the greatest moment of his career after @PVAMUPanthers won their first NCAA Tournament game ever, Coach Byron Smith says “I was counted out. The buzzards were circling. They had my grave dug because this was supposed to be the last year of my contract. So this is huge to be honest.” On playing Florida next: “This is more of a David versus Goliath situation…They’re gonna be a tough out for anybody…Anything is possible.”

The #Texans have agreed to terms on a two-year deal with G Wyatt Teller, sources tell me and @RapSheet. A three-time Pro Bowler with the #Browns, Teller finds a new home in Houston.

Craig Ackerman, television play-by-play announcer for the Rockets, after Houston lost to the Lakers 100-92: “The Rockets only scored 4 points in the last 6+ minutes of the 4th quarter. Were outscored 13-4 down the stretch. That 4th quarter was some of the worst basketball I think I’ve ever seen by two teams ever in a very, very important game. The Lakers couldn’t make shots. The Rockets kept turning it over and the Lakers eventually found their rhythm and they win a very important game.”
