Houston at UNLV

Tom Penders has people in Houston clamoring for basketball once again, with the thoughts of Phi Slamma Jamma on everyone's minds. He has recruited well and has the Cougars as serious players on the National scene for the first time in a long time. That being said, they still have some work to do to get where they need to be. UNLV has played a brutal schedule thus far, which has hampered their record but will help them down the road. They dropped four games in a row but handled Bobby Knights bunch the other night to end the skid. Houston is 0-7 ATS after a game with 9 or less assists over the last 2 seasons. Two stars on the Rebs to get something going here with two quality wins back to back.
