Kelvin Sampson emphasized that the Houston Cougars' journey is not complete after their victory over Duke, motivating the team to stay focused on the upcoming championship game. The Cougars, known for their remarkable turnaround under Sampson since 2014, have consistently been a top-performing team, achieving their second Final Four in three years. Despite previous disappointments in March Madness, the players remain determined, recognizing that while they achieved an important win, their ultimate aspiration is to secure a national championship, which has eluded them for decades.
On a whiteboard in the Houston Cougars locker room inside the Alamodome, Kelvin Sampson wrote down his team's record: 35-4. Then, underneath it: "One more." The message was clear: The job isn't done.
As remarkable and thrilling and emotional and unbelievable as Houston's Saturday night victory over favored Duke was, it didn't end this team's journey. The job isn't finished.
