One of the NCAA Tournament favorites survived one of March Madness’ biggest scares so far.

No. 1 Houston composed itself after a Texas A&M buzzer-beater to end regulation to hold off the Aggies, 100-95, in overtime of a second round South Region game on Sunday night.

Texas A&M’s Andersson Garcia hit a straight-on 3-pointer at the buzzer to tie the score at 86-all to end the second half.

But Houston was a little too much in the extra session, as a Jamal Shead jumper put them up 97-93 with 30 seconds to go and they were able to hold on.

The Cougars advance to the Sweet 16 to play No. 4 Duke, which routed James Madison earlier in the day.
