I got a feeling that Houston is going to make an immediate statement in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament against Idaho by showcasing Kelvin Sampson’s suffocating defense. They allowed 40% shooting, higher than past seasons, but it's still ranked 22nd nationally. What they did was allow the fewest number of made field goals in the nation at 20.9 per game, and they only allowed 62.9 points per game, which ranked third. I think this is Houston's year to win the championship, and it all starts with a good run against Idaho in this game. This defense comes at you fast and creates mistakes with an aggressive approach. Sampson gets favor of many officials to accept their bully-hustle ball against opposing offenses. Under.
