The Houston Cougars opened the season at 10-5 with a win over UConn in the conference opener, and looked to be a surprise contender in the newly formed American Conference. That has all changed as Houston has lost their confidence and has since gone just 2-9 in their last 11 games. Central Florida is 0-9 against the top five teams in the conference, but are 10-5 in the rest of their games this season, and have certainly been competitive in this type of matchup, winning their share. The Cougars have had trouble answering the bell off a loss, where they are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11, and don't look comfortable on the court right now. Central Florida has held control of this series, putting together a 5-1 ATS mark in their last six here. This is a live dog, so play on Central Florida.
