Houston vs KU Prediction & Picks - NCAA Men
by Lou Aguila | in NCAA Men Picks
The Kansas Jayhawks will battle the Houston Cougars in a match-up between two nationally ranked teams on Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse. Kansas has bounced back from their embarrassing loss to the Iowa State Cyclones, 57-74, on January 15 by trouncing Kansas State 84-74 and TCU Horned Frogs 74-61. The victories improved their conference record 5-2, placing them at fourth place in the Big 12 conference standings. 7-foot-2 Hunter Dickinson continues to be a towering inside presence for the Jayhawks as he averages 15.8 points and 10.2 rebounds per game. Houston pushed their winning streak to 11 games after blasting the Utah Utes, 70-36, on January 22. Milos Ulsan and LJ Cryer combined for 27 points to fuel the Cougars’ offense. However, it was once again on the defensive end of the floor where Houston made the big difference. Houston’s swarming defense limited Utah to 36 points on 30.2 percent field goal shooting. The Cougars are the only unbeaten team in the Big 12 with a 7-0 slate.

Our Houston vs KU Prediction
There’s a reason why no team has been able to defeat Houston in their last 11 games. Houston’s defense is elite, allowing their opponents to score 53.9 points per game. Their offense still has room for improvement, but their suffocating defense is enough to shut down a handful of good teams over this winning stretch. And although Kansas, the first ranked team Houston will face since losing to Alabama 80-85 OT in late November, is expected to give them a real test on Saturday, the Cougars will still be able to grind out a victory by making key defensive plays down the stretch. Our betting prediction for the Houston Cougars vs. Kansas Jayhawks: Houston will cover -1.5 points.
