Fans blame 'Cruz Curse' for Houston Cougars heartbreaking loss at San Antonio's Alamodome

Houston Cougar fans are blaming U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz's attendance at the NCAA Men's Final Four Championship game at the Alamodome for their team's stunning collapse against the University of Florida Gators.

Despite being up by 10 points in the second half of Monday's game, the Cougars' lead over the Gators vanished after the Houston Chronicle posted an article confirming that Cruz watching from (Gasp!) inside the building.

Texas politics reporter Scott Braddock later confirmed the sighting on social media platform X.
