Houston is a decent team.
I have seen them live 4 or 5 times this season and I have hit a ton of there games this season.Just look at my post history as of late.
The catch with Houston is they always come unraveled on the road at some point.
Cases of note:
At UNCC(a good team) down 2 at the half.Lose the game by 20.
At Depaul. Houston up 7 at half.Lose game by 11.
At TCU. Up by 3 at the half.Lose the game by 7.
Even the other night @ ECU they led by 5 at the half and by 15 with 4:00 left.Won by 4 and ECU had a couple of cracks to tie.
Houston 3 guard attack at all times.They have 4 guards of note and they mix them up(Owens,Smith,Latham,and now Hensley).
This is a bombs away typical Penders squad.
I like Houston in the 1stH.
Taking them for the game is a little risky.This is a must win for Houston.
Put a gun to my head and I take Houston for the game with no Diener playing.
