Houston vs. cincinnati prediction, selection, spread, basketball game contrary to what to look at, TV channel, live stream

No. 4 Houston will organize Cincinnati on Saturday in a Big 12 fight with the conference title and the effects of the NCAA tournament. The Cougars are freshly shaped as projected seeds No. 1 for the NCAA tournament in the Brackology of Jerry Palm and will win the Big 12 immediately with a win.

Cincinnati (17-11, 7-10 BIG 12) won five of his last seven games and increased in the bracket of Jerry Palm to the territory “Next 4 Out”. Taking a top 5 team on the street would work miracles for the Bearcats who have been clawing for their first NCAA tournament appearance since 2019.

But only a few teams play better than Houston (24-4, 16-1), which has a choking defense and a variety of 3-point bombers. The Cougars bid number 2 nationally in a 3-point percentage of 40.2% and nationally defense in 1st place by holding the opponents to only 57.8 points per game.

If Cincinnati gets the surprise, this will probably require another great performance by Jizzle James. The second security guard achieved an average of 19.7 points in the last seven games of the Bearcats and shoots 40% compared to the 3-point range compared to this period of time, while he helps his team into the bubble conversation.

With a showdown on Monday against Kansas, which emerges, this could be seen as a trap spot for Houston. But with a tittle in the line and the program that is fighting for the third seed in a row in a row, there is a lot that the Cougars focused.

Houston against cincinnati prediction, picks

All chances of winning about sports line consensus

Houston should be a lot motivated because it tries to claim a direct Big 12 title and to stay in the NCAA tournament in search of a No. 1 seed. The stingy defense of the Cougars will make life difficult for a criminal offense of Cincinnati, which in the BIG 12 at 66.5 points per game. In the 3-point defense, the Bearcats also show the 14th place in Big 12, which will be a problem against a Houston team that better than 40% from the sheet. Houston may have the reason to deduct the gas late because it houses Kansas on a short turnaround Monday, but in principle the Cougars can manage this spread. Selection: Houston -15.5
