What channel is Houston vs Duke on today? Time, TV schedule for March Madness Sweet 16 game

After winning a nail-bitter Sunday night against Texas A&M, Houston basketball remains alive in March Madness.

The Cougars — who are 34-4 overall and appearing in their fifth straight Sweet 16 — needed everyone and then some to beat the Aggies and punch their ticket to the second weekend after Texas A&M's Andersson Garcia hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to force overtime in Memphis.

Houston looked to have had its bus for Dallas booked with two minutes in regulation Sunday, but then a 17-5 Texas A&M run that was capped off by Garcia's shot put things in question. Sampson then lost his leading scorer Emanuel Sharp after he began OT with a 3-pointer as he fouled out. Some fortunate stops, missed Aggies shots and a free throw from Ryan Elvin — who saw a season-high minutes on Friday vs. Longwood — helped the Cougars rebook that bus.

Now Houston will take on one of college basketball's bluest of blue bloods: 4 seed Duke in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament on Friday, March 29 inside American Airlines Center in Dallas.

As for Duke, the Blue Devils are appearing in their first Sweet 16 post Mike Krzyzewski with second-year coach Jon Scheyer. Duke advanced to the second weekend by taking down James Madison with ease 93-55 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Jared McCain hit a record-setting eight 3-pointers in the win.

Along with McCain, who is averaging 14.0 points per game, Duke's offense consists of team-leading scorer Kyle Filipowski and guard Jeremy Roach.
