LSU - Houston Basketball prediction

Houston travels to LSU after a road victory over Saint Louis. With an 8-1 record, the Houston Cougars have been busy in December, grabbing a road victory against Saint Louis and domianting a good Arkansas team on their homecourt. While some may point to the Cougar's early game against Liberty as a sign of struggles on the road, that Liberty team has a defense that ranks near the top 50 in the NCAA. Liberty slowed Houston down offensively as they struggled to grab defensive rebounds and hit the three ball. That won't be the case tonight, as Houston faces a LSU team that has proven its offensive efficiency, but shown its incapable of defending against the three-pointer and winning the rebound battle, two of Houston's biggest strengths. Houston with the road victory, expect this one to look less like LSU's win over Michigan and more like their lose over Marquette, or worse, Notre Dame.
