Houston 2/27 7:00 ESPN2
The Cougars are 24-3 have not lost a home game this season. They have beaten everyone at the Fertitta Center by double digits with the exception of Iowa St last week. One thing to note in that game is that Houston held on to the ball against the Cyclones and only committed nine turnovers. They are not going to hand us the ball tomorrow night.
On the flip side of that, we can't hand UH the ball because it's almost a guaranteed two points for them if you turn it over. This game will be won or lost in the first 8:00 or so, I would think. If we don't start fast it's going to be a very long night. We absolutely cannot get beat up on the boards at the beginning like the game at 5/3. The Bearcats are going to need good chemistry for this to work out and we're going to need good Dan and his scoring mentality sans the turnovers for this one.
ESPN predictor is giving us a less than 4% chance to win this game. I'm going to try reverse psychology and say that's pretty close to the mark for once.
