Houston
Game is Thursday at 9 PM EST on CBSSN.
Houston is 21-8 overall and 11-6 in AAC. They have won 5 of 6, and the loss was from blowing a 12 point 2nd half lead at home vs Temple. They are #52 in KenPom...#17 AdjO, #178 AdjD, and #258 AdjT. I think we will be +2. UC 61 Houston 59 Last edited by jacobkdoyle; 02-29-2016 at 09:56 AM. |

Won't lie.
Im nervous as hell for this game. Its senior night @ Houston and from the looks of it, it will be sold out. Senior night always scares me when we are the away team. I saw how good Seton Hall was against X on senior night. I think keys to the game are this: ** Allow 7 3 pointers or less: Last game they hit 10 on us and in all there other wins lately, the max they hit was 7. Make them beat us with 2 point shots **Shut down Rob Gray: We did a good job of keeping him on the bench last time we played them. **Limit offensive rebounds: they outrebounded us last time including 18 Offensive RB. **Run the offense through Gary: We should try to get there big guys in foul trouble and get Gary as many touches as possible |

Gray didn't play much last game. I agree that he is a huge defensive liability. I think if we slow down Pollard and limit the amount of 3 pointers made we will win.

It's going to be sellout? Are you sure? They always draw the worst crowds I've ever seen. Honestly, it might not be a bad thing if it's packed. A dead arena with no emotion makes our players lazy. Least a crowd would keep them alert.

Haha! But honestly, it's kinda true. Our guys have been known to feed off the energy /environment.
On the radio show, Larry Davis said he hopes it's a large crowd. The players seem to feed off it. So could be a little bit of truth. It's two folds for sure. |

We were in position to win the SMU, Temple and Tulsa road games and we did win the UConn game. Outside of Xavier, we've yet to be blown out this year.
I have no concerns about them not coming ready to play, being down two starters will hurt but this is a game we WILL win. It's about time one goes our way. Cincinnati 67 Houston 63 |
