Houston is 5-0, but the Cougars go on the road for the first time this season against an improving Rhode Island team. The Rams are coached by Dan Hurley, who got his team to the NIT last season. Houston beat Murray State on Wednesday 93-78, making 32-of-50 shots, including 10-of-15 for Robert Gray, who scored 26 points. Ronnie Johnson added 17 points and LeRon Barnes pulled down 11 rebounds. Rhode Island lost a close 74-72 decision against in-state rival Providence on Saturday as the Friars were hit 54.5 percent of their shots. Jared Terrell led the Rams with 19 points and Jarvis Garrett contributed 17 points. Houston is shooting 52.4 percent this season, but it could be a different story as the Cougars go on the road as Rhode Island hold opponents to just 41.7 percent and 29.6 percent from three-point range. The Rams have shown an ability to bounce back with an 18-6 ATS record after a loss dating to the last two seasons. Houston has covered the spread its last eight games, but the Cougars don't have enough to win outright in this matchup and situation. Play Rhode Island on the money line.
