Why Houston can cover

Houston has won 15 of its 16 games since the end of November, establishing itself as a team with a legitimate chance of earning a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Cougars’ lone loss during that stretch came in overtime against then-No. 22 Texas Tech on Feb. 1, but they bounced back with wins over Oklahoma State and Colorado. Senior forward J’Wan Roberts scored a team-high 20 points on 9 of 11 shooting in a win at Colorado on Saturday. 

He was joined in double figures by teammates Terrance Arceneaux (15), L.J. Cryer (15) and Milos Uzan (12). Sophomore forward Joseph Tugler played his role well, grabbing 10 rebounds in 28 minutes. The Cougars have covered the spread in four of the last five meetings between these teams, and Baylor has only covered the spread once in its last eight road games. See which team to pick here. 

Why Baylor can cover

Baylor has won four of its last six games, with one of its losses coming in overtime at BYU on Jan. 28. The Bears beat then-No. 11 Kansas by 11 points on Feb. 1 and are coming off a 91-76 win over UCF on Saturday. They covered the spread as 11-point favorites in that win, powered by senior forward Norchad Omier’s 80th career double-double. 

Langston Love played in his first game since Dec. 31, scoring 16 points on 5 of 9 shooting off the bench. Houston has been struggling to win games with margin over the last few weeks, failing to cover the spread in three straight games. Baylor tends to play its best basketball at this time of the season, covering the spread in seven of its last 10 games in February. See which team to pick here.
