IN NCAA TOURNAMENT The University of Houston’s Lady Cougars have done it again — shooting and rebounding their way to their second consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. The Lady Cougars will play the seventh-seed Boston College Golden Eagles in the Chattanooga Regional, 1:30 p.m. Sunday, March 20. To cheer on the team, a watch party will be held at UH’s Campus Recreation and Wellness Center’s rotunda. Cougar Pride will host another watch party at the Fox and Hound Pub and Grille, 11470 Westheimer Road. Watch parties will be held at the same locations on Tuesday, March 22, if the Lady Cougars win on Sunday. After receiving an at-large bid to play in the 2005 NCAA Tournament, the women’s basketball team will enter this year’s tournament as the No. 10 seed. The Lady Cougars enter the tournament with a 21-8 overall record and in third place Conference USA standings with a 10-4 record. Last year, the team had entered the NCAA tournament as a No. three seed and as Conference USA champions. In the second round, UH fell, 56-52, to University of California — Santa Barbara, but it was the first time in school history that the women’s basketball team advanced past the first round in the NCAA Tournament.
