HOUSTON — The University of Houston men's basketball team may not have brought home the championship, but many can agree the team still deserves all the cheers they can get.

On Saturday, the UH Cougars lost to the Baylor Bears 78-59 in the NCAA Final Four. A rough loss, but the Coogs have every reason to be proud because the team hasn't been to a Final Four since 1983.
