THE PLAY: Houston -8.0 (-105)
The Boilermakers have had a fortunate draw, as they've faced the High Point Panthers and the McNeese Cowboys. Things now get a whole lot more difficult; Houston is 27-1 its past 28 games. Unlike the Panthers and Cowboys, the Cougars' record came against quality opponents. After a 38-point cakewalk in the opening round, the Cougars got tested by a really good Gonzaga team in the second round. That close game experience should serve them well. I don't think Purdue is quite as strong as Gonzaga. The Cougars have had their wake-up call. I see them pulling away for a double-digit victory.
Ben Burns is the #1 Basketball Handicapper in the history of WagerTalk.
