Houston Cougars vs. Iowa State Cyclones: The Surprising Shot Profile and Intangibles That Could Flip the Outcome
This is one of the most anticipated regular-season college basketball games this season. The #6 Iowa State Cyclones (22-3, 9-3 Big XII) host #2 Houston Cougars (23-2, 11-1 Big XII) at Hilton Coliseum in a conference showdown between two Final Four contenders. Houston-Iowa State is the second of an ESPN doubleheader, tipping off at 9 p.m. ET.
The Cougars are on a six-game winning streak and 4-2 against the spread during that stretch. However, only one of those wins came against a top-25 team in Ken Pom’s rankings, BYU. Houston has one of the best backcourts in the country, featuring its two leading scorers, senior Emmanuel Sharp (16.6 points per game) and freshman Kingston Flemings (16.4 PPG).
