1) Since Christmas, Houston's young talent and coach seem to have come together, as all of their losses have been close (excluding versus Cincy -- no shame there), and this Southern Miss team represents a real step down from Houston's recent competition
2) I expect a small letdown here from Southern Miss, as they had their HUGE TV game last Friday night versus Memphis, and were right there until the end; now, they head on the road, where they are 1-6 (including neutral site games), and have lost those 6 by 7, 15, 24, 9, 22, and 20
3) Athletic talent and matchups favor Houston here, as well
Accounting for all of the above, I see Houston easy here tonight.
Houston 70, Southern Miss 55.
Good luck!
