Like II said, this would be the biggest win since @SMU in 2016. We're gonna be double-digit underdogs. But maybe a couple reasons for optimism?
This Houston team plays slow and wins games with their defense. I think we've shown we can beat teams like that in a rock fight.
Houston ranks 207th in 3-point percentage. They've shot about as poorly as we have so far. Armoni Brooks will probably torch us, but he's the only shooter they've got.
They're a small team. Like us, Houston's starting frontcourt goes 6-5/6-8. Unlike us, they crash the glass aggressively.
It'll take our best game of the season to win this one, but you can imagine how it would go down if we did. If nothing else, I feel pretty good that we won't get a repeat of last year's 104-71 beatdown.
