Rutgers vs. Houston

Rutgers comes off an impressive win over Clemson, even while shooting only 39.7%, which is far below its season average of 44.9%, and we now have a deflated posted total for this game. Geo Baker hit the decisive layup with 10 seconds left and scored 13 points for the Scarlet Knights. Houston has gone OVER six of its past eight games, including the last three, and the Cougars soared OVER by 8.5 points in their 87-56 win over Cleveland State. This will be a much tougher matchup for Houston as the Scarlet Knights come from what some considered the best conference in the country in the Big Ten. Rutgers is 6-3 ATS its past nine games and brimming with confidence after winning its first NCAA Tournament game since 1983. The Scarlet Knights also figure to shoot better, and the Cougars have gone OVER six of their last seven after a win by at least 20 points. Take Rutgers and the OVER.
