Has the Drake curse already been activated?
Any hopefuls betting on the Houston Cougars to make a significant run in the 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament may want to rethink their decision, as they may have fallen victim to the notorious “Drake curse.”
Renowned hip-hop artist and fervent sports enthusiast, Drake, has seemingly placed his infamous jinx upon the Cougars as the tournament’s first round approaches.
Throughout the years, Drake’s association with various sports teams has often resulted in misfortune for those squads. This time around, it appears Houston is the latest recipient of his dubious support.
Despite Drake’s connections to Kentucky, the Cougars presented him with a custom jersey ahead of the tournament, suggesting his allegiance may lie with them this year.

Houston has undeniably been a dominant force in college basketball this season, securing a No. 1 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. However, if the purported Drake curse persists, fans shouldn’t anticipate a deep tournament run for the Cougars. In fact, they may even become a popular choice for early upset picks.
Houston’s journey in the 2024 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament commences with a first-round matchup against No. 16 seed Longwood. Scheduled to tip off at 9:20 p.m. E.T. on Friday evening, the outcome of the game will be eagerly anticipated by fans and skeptics alike.
