Connecticut has lost four of its last five following a 61-55 defeat at Villanova on Saturday while Houston has won and covered eight of its last nine after impressive victories against SMU and Wichita State. Fabian White Jr. led the Cougars with 14 points and DeJon Jarreau added 12 points and 10 rebounds against the Shockers, who were held to 30-percent shooting by the Houston defense. Houston has won the last three meetings, including an 84-45 annihilation in the quarterfinals of the AAC tournament last season. The Cougars have covered seven of their last eight versus teams with winning records and UConn has yet to win on the road this season. Take Houston.
