The Pick

Over 139.5

Houston is flying up the court this season by Kelvin Sampson’s usual standards, and actually getting 66 possessions a game, good for 299th in the country. But add that to Bryant’s 71.5 possessions (50th nationally), and you’ve got a game where the athleticism of UH will be unleashed. Coogs get at least 85 here, and the Bulldogs can make up the rest.
