Houston is and always will be a very good under team under Kelvin Sampson. The Cougs are 9-3 under at home and 114-8 under overall. Houston has the #1 defense and their pace is in the bottom 40 of college basketball. Their defense is so good it fores opponents deeper into the shot clock. OSU Head Coach Mike Boynton teaches solid defensive fundimentals but his offense is stuck in the early 2000's. It has been four years since they had an offense inside the top 100. The Cowboys are without 2nd leading scorer Bryce Thompson due to a shoulder injury. Under for one unit.
