This week, I traveled to Avenida Houston to attend a watch party featuring the University of Houston basketball team taking on Northern Kentucky University.

What should have been an easy game turned out to be a costly one for the Coogs who lost their top guard Marcus Sasser to a re-aggravated groin injury.
