SMU at Houston
1:00 PM Eastern
SMU is 9-3 and still getting double digits, although the road team is 5-2-1 ATS the last eight meetings. The Mustangs split a pair against Memphis, winning the rematch 67-65 on Thursday while shooting only 42% and hitting just 5 of 21 from 3-point distance. Feron Hunt led SMU with 17 points, and Emmanuel Bandoumel added 15 points for the Mustangs, who are shooting 46.7% overall and 36.0% percent on 3-pointers this season. Houston is shooting just 42 percent overall and 34.5 percent from behind the arc. The Cougars are doing it with defense, but the Mustangs have enough shooters to keep this one under the number. Take the points with SMU.
