Kelvin Sampson and the Houston Cougars are fresh off a trip to the national title game, suffering a loss in the final leg of the NCAA Tournament. Houston made their way to the national title game and lost to the Florida Gators after defeating a couple of the best teams in the league.

I told our guys after the game to be disappointed you lost, but do not be disappointed in your effort," said Houston head coach Kelvin Sampson after the heartbreaking loss to Florida on Monday.
