In the 40 seasons before Sampson arrived in Houston the Cougars had a 0-4 record in the NCAA tournament. 

In the last 5 years Houston has the most NCAA tournament wins with 15. 

In the 11 seasons with Sampson, Houston has a 18-6 NCAA tournament record with 6 sweet 16s, 3 elite 8s and 2 final 4s.  

Sampson has leaned on an in your face Physical Defense for ever.

This Houston Team has options on offense.

What are you talking about? They played for the national title in 83 and 84. They had won plenty of NCAA games before Sampson. Guy V. Lewis won a heck of a lot of games back in the Phi Slamma Jamma era.

1983 and 1984 are both over 40 years ago. I believe he started his post by stating the last 40 years.

Both of you are correct.

I don't know I see the best cappers like kc backing Houston but Duke has one of the best teams I've seen in a while. I think I would go with a low scoring game but Duke is hard to fade. Houston too they dominated that Tennessee team which blew my mind

No Doubt Duke is talented, Flagg is the real deal #1 pick 18 year old Star. The Final 4 lights will be on and I like the Experience and Defense of Houston and their ability to get in your Kitchen and make it a mess. 

Houston only lost 1 game in regulation time this season and that was vs. Auburn.  The rest of their Losses were in OT.
