Cincinnati at Houston

A huge showdown in the American Athletic Conference between two powerhouse defensive teams. Cincinnati has the nation's second-ranked scoring defense for coach Mick Cronin and has surrendered more than 63 points just once over the course of its 16-game winning streak. Teams are shooting just 36.1 percent against the Bearcats, tied with Michigan State for the lowest rate in the country. Cincinnati is 38-13-1 UNDER the total on the road, as well as 49-16-1 UNDER away against a team with a winning home record. Houston is 12-0 straight-up at home and winds up a three-game homestand here, allowing 58 and 42 points in the first two. Houston is 8-2 UNDER the total at home against a team with a winning road record. And when these rivals clash, the UNDER is on a 6-1 run, including 6-0 UNDER on this court. This one stays UNDER.
