SMU vs Houston Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks

With SMU still somehow on the outside of the NCAA Tournament in many of the latest predicted “bubbles,” this game could go a long way in securing a possible at-large tournament bid. Beating Houston once is already a heck of a signature win, beating them twice, including once on the road would make the Mustangs a virtual lock.

Houston will be looking for revenge and have a chance to all but wrap up the AAC regular season title as a win puts the two games in front with just three remaining. Both offenses are going to come out firing and it’ll likely be another high-scoring game like we saw in SMU’s 85-83 win over Houston two weeks ago. Bet on the over to hit on the total line.
