It's March Madness season, and we’ve made it to the Sweet 16. All eyes are on the nation’s best teams in college basketball as they fight for a spot in the Elite Eight.

Houston Cougars vs. Purdue Boilermakers is sure to be a good watch as the first and fourth seeds try to clinch a spot in the Elite Eight. Cougars coach Kelvin Sampson has yet to lead a team to an NCAA National Championship, so the pressure is on as they attempt to secure a victory for Houston. Purdue has also never won a National Championship game, so both teams are looking to make history this year.
