While the No. 1-seed Cougars remain protective over their injured star, Sasser, who sustained a groin injury, was mobile during Tuesday's sendoff to the NCAA tournament.
The Coogs' star guard's status for their first-round game vs. Northern Kentucky remains a mystery Tuesday.Marcus Sasser, who was named to the AP All-America First Team, is still unclear to play during NCAA tournament games this weekend for Houston.While it may be strange but understandable for Houston Cougars fans to pray for Marcus Sasser's groin health, those fanatics can at least celebrate an honor that the team hasn't earned in nearly 40 years.
The honor was announced Tuesday as the Coogs players boarded buses bound for a plane that would take them to Birmingham, Alabama, where they begin March Madness play on Thursday. Sasser's honor marks the first time in 39 years that the Cougars men's hoops program earned a first-team All-America selection since Hakeem Olajuwon during the "Phi Slama Jama" era.
