Houston at Cincinnati

Houston coach Kelvin Sampson makes it a point to recruit good shooters and that is one of the reasons the Cougars can stay with defensive-minded Cincinnati. The Cougars won the previous matchup 67-62 on Feb. 15 while shooting nearly 50 percent from the field while holding the Bearcats to 38.6 percent. Houston has won five straight following its 77-74 win over Wichita State as a three-point underdog. Rob Gray exploded for 33 points and Corey Davis Jr. added 18 points for the Cougars, whose underrated defense held the Shockers to a .411 field goal percentage. Houston is 8-2-1 ATS its last 11 games overall and Cincy is just 20-41 ATS its last 61 Sunday games dating to several seasons. Play Houston.
