Houston at East Carolina

January 11, 2017
img6:00 PM Eastern

At 13-4, the Houston Cougars are one of the top teams in the AAC, and are NCAA Tournament hopefuls. The Cougars have shot the ball very well at 47% on the season, and have been a consistent deep threat, knocking down 40% from deep on the season. East Carolina at 9-8 has not shot the ball very well. The problem is that Temple hung 81 points on them in their previous game, as they allowed 53.2% shooting against them. Houston is more than capable of duplicating those numbers. Coach Kelvin Sampson has seen his teams go 18-7 to the OVER after two straight games being held to 65 points or fewer. They are now 67-41 to the OVER after playing two straight games as an underdog. Play on the OVER.
