“Unlikely Heroes: How the Cougars Plan to Topple the Boilermakers in an Unexpected Showdown”
Houston has been one of the best teams in the country not only this season, but for the past few years. The problem is that they typically choke because they really don’t have a key scorer that can take over the offense when needed. That isn’t to say their offense is bad, I actually like it and think they are efficient. Their defense is really the strength of this team and they try to force their opponent into mistakes with their pressure. Houston has lost just four times this season. They dropped games to Auburn, Alabama, and San Diego State early in the year. San Diego State isn’t terrible, but they should’ve won that game. Texas Tech was the only other time they fell to an opponent this year. The total margin of victory for their opponents: 14 points. In round one of the NCAA Tournament, they won by 38 points, handling their business very well. In round 2, it was a bit scarier with them beating Gonzaga by just five points. Houston never trailed in the game, but they also couldn’t ever really fully shut the door on Gonzaga either. I was wrong about them in this game as I took them at -5.5, so we lost on the hook.
