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.
Our college basketball betting SMU vs Houston prediction tonight will be OVER HITS at BetUS.
For what it’s worth, the ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Houston a 91.5% chance to win.
