The Round of 64 continues Friday, as the Houston Cougars are set to take on the Longwood Lancers in the NCAA Tournament.

The Cougars are one of four No. 1 seeds in the tournament. They lost to Iowa State in the Big 12 tournament but kept their No. 1 seed on the strength of their 30-4 record in the regular season.

The Cougars are a perennially dominant force in the NCAA Tournament. They've made the dance 24 times in the school's history, yet they've never won a title.

The Lancers went to the dance for the first time two seasons ago, losing in the first round. This year, they earned their tournament bid by defeating UNC Asheville in the Big South conference championship.

Walyn Napper has led the team this season, posting 14.6 points and 4.6 assists per game. In the conference championship, the Lancers had five players in double figures.
