Big 12 Showdown Set to Unleash Unexpected Twists and Relentless Intensity

Big 12 Showdown Set to Unleash Unexpected Twists and Relentless Intensity

Houston is currently ranked as the third-best team in the nation. This really shouldn’t be a surprise at this point. The Cougars have consistently been one of the better programs and have always had a relatively similar identity under their head coach, Kelvin Sampson. They aren’t the most exciting team to watch, usually. Instead of getting fast-paced players who rack up points, Houston tends to have guys who work hard on defense and swarm the ball. That isn’t to say their offense can’t be effective. They are averaging 78.3 points per game, but they aren’t overly dominant from one player. This is more of a team scoring approach where everyone is involved. They are playing good basketball right now, having won six straight games. Overall, they are 23-2 and have lost just one conference game. The out-of-conference game was a three-point loss to Tennessee. The other loss was to Texas Tech on the road, one they dropped by just four points. As a reflection of what I was mentioning earlier, they allowed 90 points in that game, but they still kept up with the scoring. Their flaw might be that they can’t really do both scoring and consistent defense at an elite level.
