March Madness is flying in the Texas Governor's Mansion - and it's wearing a shade of Cougar Red.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott unveiled his 2026 NCAA tournament bracket Thursday morning, picking the Houston Cougars to win it all.
This is the golden ticket.
The Houston Cougars went to the final game last year, but came up short.
They will win at all this year.#GoCoogs.

"The Houston Cougars went to the final game last year, but came up short. They will win it all this year. #GoCoogs," Abbott wrote.
The Cougars were defeated last year in the national title game by eventual champion Florida, 65-63.
