Game Preview
The Cougars are a trendy pick by many to cut the nets down in April and it is with good reason. Houston is loaded, they have the best backcourt in the country led by Jamal Shead and Marcus Sasser. They can shoot, get to the rim, and play smothering defense. The Cougars enter this game averaging 82 points per game and only allowing 46 per game.
Really diving into the numbers, it looks like the Cougars are playing this basketball season in easy mode. They are shooting 50% from the floor, hauling in 42 rebounds, and the Cougars provide 17 helpers. If those were not enough, they add in 6 blocks and 12 steals per game. Yes, 12 steals per game over their first two games.
Oral Roberts is coached by Paul Mills who is an offensive genius, and the Golden Eagles are consistently one of the best offensive teams in the country. Oral Roberts also has one of the best pure scorers in the game on their roster. He should be no stranger to college basketball fans though as he made a huge impact in the run to the Sweet 1t6 for Oral Roberts two seasons ago.
Houston will cover the spread and will win going away but with the way the first week went it proves anyone can beat anyone on any given night. The season is starting off with some crazy upsets.
The outcome of this game is only going to be a learning experience for Oral Roberts, it is going to be used as a gauge to figure out where they stand against one of the best in the country. It will give coach Mills a reason to update his offense and put more into play so the Golden Eagles can continue to score at will most nights.
