UH rallies in the second half against Auburn, advances to Sweet 16
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — They had to deal with questions about an injured groin, knee, perhaps even a bruised ego.That Houston showed up in the second half Saturday night.
Tramon Mark had a career-high 26 points and Marcus Sasser added 22 as the No. 1-seeded Cougars erased a 10-point halftime lead for an 81-64 victory over Auburn at Legacy Arena in the second round of the tournament. UH matched a program record with its 33rd win of the season, this one arguably the least probable after falling behind 41-31 at halftime and faced with an orange-and-white backdrop – Auburn was playing about a two-hour drive from campus – that might as well have turned Legacy Arena into a scene from “Sweet Home Alabama.”
