You didn't think we (the royal 'we') wouldn't have an instant react on the return of Cougar men's basketball star Marcus Sasser? Then you were sadly mistaken.

Sasser wasn't the only Cougar men's hoops topic as a 2023 local recruit committed *and* the first D1 transfer of the offseason joined.

PLUS! Cougar baseball makes a run in the conference tournament (+ big picture end of season thoughts) and Cougar track & field goes to Prelims and sends athletes/relays to NCAA Outdoors.

We're back, somewhat overdue, and boy howdy do we have a lot of Houston Cougar goings on to talk about:

- Intriguing transfer portal additions for Cougar football and women's basketball

- The latest updates on Marcus Sasser's workouts at the G League Elite Camp and NBA Combine

- Track & Field goes up 35 for AAC Outdoors in Wichita

- Softball and both Golf programs end their seasons

- Baseball finishes up an improved season on  a sour note at home

In our second episode of the week, we're taking listener questions, and providing answers on subjects like the Robertson Stadium End Zone Facility, hypothetical lottery winnings, Star Wars, Rice sucking at baseball, and much more. What are the odds Marcus Sasser plays for UH next year? We have no idea, but we sure threw out some guesses.

For the third straight season, your Houston Cougar men's basketball team is headed to the Sweet 16. Your co-hosts are back to marvel at this incredible accomplishment, breaking down Houston's wins over UAB and Illinois, and trying to put some proper context into the amazing run we're seeing from this program. Plus, we're taking a look forward to UH's next round opponent in the top-seeded Arizona Wildcats, both what makes them scary (and a deserving 1-seed) but also where Houston can have some success.

See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

With March Madness now underway, we're helping you better get to know Houston's first round opponent by bringing in John from the Blazer Victory Podcast to talk all things UAB, from how they match up with the Cougar front court, to what the Blazers need to do to pull off the upset.

Plus, the women's hoops team keeps its season alive with an NIT bid. We're talking the matchup with Louisiana Tech as the Coogs try to continue their late season momentum.

Not to mention both bat & ball sports had eventul weekends, Track & Field sent athletes to Indoor Nationals, men's golf continued playing well, and more!

We are back, now with 50% of the Pawdcast back in terra firma in Houston, Texas and in the return we chew (not literally of course) on the following Houston Cougar sports topics:

• Men's Hoops outlasting UCF on the road and a pesky Tulane team in the friendly confines, and looking ahead to the hardest week of the remaining schedule with road trips to Cincy and SMU

• Football adds to the '22 class at the late signing day
• Women's Hoops breaks their losing streak & looks ahead to a big challenge in UCF

Guess who's back? The Pawdcast's back, sadly this doesn't work to the tune of Eminem's "Follow Me" nearly as well as I expected when I began typing this.

Anyway, Dustin & Sam return to talk the following topics from the week that was and will be in Houston Cougar sports:

• Cougar MBB gets a historic win over ECU and looks ahead to spicy showdowns with UCF and Tulane
• H-Town Speed City scores multiple event wins and a host of promises performances up in Lubbock, highlighted by another BIG event win from Priscilla Adejokun.
• PLUS, updates on WBB and swim & dive

It's been nothing if not an eventful week in Cougar hoops. On the men's side, Houston held on against a wild Tulsa comeback even with a sidelined Jamal Shead, who made a miraculous comeback to help UH win comfortably against USF.

In women's hoops...it's been less encouraging. We dissect a week that saw Houston lose 3 winnable games.

Plus, now a week into Indoor Track & Field season, we've got your Cougar season preview, what to watch for, and the impressive performances we already saw on opening weekend.

Not to mention Cougar football got some roster news, with transfers heading in both directions. We're discussing the newcomers, the departures, and what positions we'd still like to see Houston address via the portal.

We're opening 2022 on a high note, as the Cougar men's and women's basketball programs combined to open AAC play with a trio of road wins, despite some serious shorthandedness. We've got heroics from Josh Carlton, Ramon Walker Jr, Fatou Diagne, and others.

Plus, we revisit our mid-season Cougar football position grades, and reevaluate each group with all 14 games in the book.

Not to mention Karen Fredgaard is going pro, and Swimming & Diving has senior day coming up!

• For the 2nd week in a row, talking about a season ending injury to one of Cougar men's basketball's top players, and previewing what we hope to be a week with 2 conference opponents.

The 2021 Cougar football campaign is coming to its end, and we're excited to be back and talking about a matchup with Auburn. We're talking who's opting out, who (we think) is actually playing, and why this figures to be a compelling matchup of two teams with something to prove.

Plus, both Cougar men's and women's hoops picked up key wins over P5 non-conference foes! We're talking that, as well as the final games of the 2021 calendar year for both teams, as well as our take on the state of AAC men's hoops as UH enters conference play.
