The Cougars open the tournament at 10:30 p.m. (CST), Nov. 26 against No. 17/16 Oklahoma and then meet San Diego at 10:30 p.m. (CST), Nov. 27. Houston's third-day opponent will be determined by on the results of the first two games with the team's final game airing on CSS at 10:30 p.m. (CST), Nov. 28.
