Jim Boeheim previewed that there may be several transfers announced in the next few weeks as the offseason begins.

The second-seeded Houston Cougars lived up to their reputation as one of the best defensive teams in the nation.

DeJon Jarreau’s steal and thunderous slam with 3:09 left put the Cougars up 58-43, and an exclamation point on their ticket to the Elite 8.

During the four postseason games Buddy Boeheim has played in, he’s averaging 28.2 ppg on 55.8 percent shooting from beyond the arc.

Houston is led by Quentin Grimes, who claimed both the AAC Player of the Year and AAC Tournament MVP awards this season.
