Houston is undefeated in 10 games and had covered the spread in four straight games before beating Saint Louis 68-64 as an 8.5-point favorite on Sunday. The Cougars are holding opponents to a .376 field goal percentage overall and just .269 from three-point range. Corey Davis Jr. scored 17 points and Galen Roninson Jr. and Armoni Brooks added 13 points apiece against the Billikens, who shot only 36.7 percent. The Cougars face a tough test tonight as Utah State is 9-2 on the season and the only losses were to Arizona State and BYU. The Aggies blew out Alabama State 86-48 on Saturday with Sam Merrill scoring 16 points and the Hornets shot a miserable 20.7 percent from the field. Utah State can't depend on that kind of shooting from its opponent tonight as the Cougars are hitting 34.1 percent from beyond the arc while averaging 75.3 points. The Cougars are a favorite, but go with Houston on the moneyline.
