Will the Cougars Shock Everyone and Topple the Red Raiders on Their Home Turf?

Houston seems to be an annual contender now, and even after having a few guys leave after last year’s National Championship runner-up campaign, the team is still playing well. They are 13-1 for the season and are also 1-0 in conference play. There win was also last game against Cincinnati, a road game that they took in typical low-scoring, defensive-minded basketball fashion as they pulled it out 67-60. Their lone loss this season was a road game against Tennessee in a Thanksgiving tournament game at a neutral site. Outside of that, I’ve been fairly unimpressed with their season. They have played just three ranked teams, Auburn, Tennessee, and Arkansas. While they are 2-1, they don’t have that many true tests this season. Most of the other games are against teams that are either bad or unlikely to make the NCAA Tournament. Some of that is understandable, as most teams start the year against bad competition, but I don’t think Houston has had to really break a sweat yet. As in years’ past, this team is led by their guards, ones that try hard on defense, and manage the offense, even if it isn’t the most highlight-reel worthy.
