What to Know

The SMU Mustangs lost both of their matches to the #6 Houston Cougars last season on scores of 60-74 and 48-70, so they’re hoping to turn the tables this season. SMU and the Cougars will face off in an American Athletic battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Moody Coliseum. The Mustangs are out to keep their 11-game home win streak alive.

The game between SMU and the Wichita State Shockers this past Saturday was not particularly close, with SMU falling 72-57. Forward Marcus Weathers (14 points) and guard Emmanuel Bandoumel (12 points) were the top scorers for SMU.

Meanwhile, Houston took their matchup against the Cincinnati Bearcats on Sunday by a conclusive 80-58 score. The Cougars can attribute much of their success to forward Fabian White Jr., who had 22 points along with nine boards.

The Mustangs are expected to lose this next one by 7.5. Now might not be the best time to take SMU against the spread since they’ve let down bettors for the past two consecutive games.

SMU is now 16-5 while Houston sits at 20-2. A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: SMU have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 39.70%, which places them 30th in college basketball. But Houston is even better: they have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 36%, which places them first in college basketball. We’ll see if that edge gives the Cougars a route to victory.
