Prediction
BYU has been playing as good as any team in the country, but they are still no match for this Houston team. Houston has lost one game since November 30th and that was a one-point overtime setback to Texas Tech. BYU doesn’t match up well against this Houston defense. Just look at their meeting back on January 4th. Houston limited BYU to 8-of-24 from long range and won the game 86-55. BYU can keep it close for a half, but Houston will pull away in the second.
Pick: Houston -7.5
