Current Records: Houston 9-2; Oklahoma State 7-3
What to Know
The #14 Houston Cougars will take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at Dickies Arena. Both teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.
The Louisiana Ragin Cajuns typically have all the answers at home, but on Tuesday Houston proved too difficult a challenge. The Cougars had enough points to win and then some against Louisiana, taking their contest 71-56. Houston got double-digit scores from five players: forward Josh Carlton (17), guard Jamal Shead (16), guard Taze Moore (14), forward Fabian White Jr. (12), and guard Kyler Edwards (12).
Meanwhile, Oklahoma State didn't have too much breathing room in their matchup with the Cleveland State Vikings on Monday, but they still walked away with a 98-93 win. Oklahoma State can attribute much of their success to guard Avery Anderson III, who had 29 points.
Houston is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9.5-point margin of victory. Those burned by picking them against the spread on Tuesday might want to keep in mind that the team has not yet dropped back-to-back games against the spread this season.
The Cougars are now 9-2 while the Cowboys sit at 7-3. Houston is 6-2 after wins this year, Oklahoma State 4-2.
