This is a monstrous revenge game for Houston, which was handed its first loss of the season at Iowa State on Jan. 9 when the Cougars played one of their worst games of the year. They shot just 38 percent overall and 27 percent from 3-point distance and Iowa State shot 22 free throws compared to 12 for the Cougars, who have won eight of 10 since that game. Houston comes off a dominating 82-61 victory over Texas on Saturday while covering as a 10-point favorite with LJ Cryer scoring a team-leading 26 points and the Longhorns were held to 39 percent shooting. Houston is #1 in the country allowing only 55.0 points per game while still scoring 73.9 and the Cougars are undefeated at home with a 9-4-1 ATS record. Lay the points with Houston as a Max Play.
