Why Houston can cover
The Cougars have been red-hot, winning 12 of their last 14 games and six straight at home. Houston has already clinched its fifth straight winning season and seventh in the last eight years. The Cougars are looking for their third straight NCAA Tournament appearance, their longest such stretch since reaching the tournament in four consecutive seasons from 1981 to 1984 under legendary coach Guy Lewis.
Sophomore guard Caleb Mills has scored in double-figures in seven of the last nine games and is averaging 13.1 points and 2.3 rebounds. Mills has three 20-plus scoring games in that stretch, including a 23-point effort at Temple on Jan. 7.
Why Wichita State can cover
Even so, the Cougars aren't a lock to cover the Wichita State vs. Houston spread. That's because the Shockers have already secured their 11th consecutive winning season and are looking to earn their eighth NCAA Tournament appearance in nine years. In his 13th season, coach Gregg Marshall has compiled a 325-118 (.734) record, which includes seven NCAA Tournaments.
Offensively, the Shockers have been paced by sophomore guard Erik Stevenson and senior center Jaime Echenique. Stevenson leads the team in scoring at 11.8 points per game, including a 29-point effort against Mississippi on Jan. 4, while Echenique averages 11.6 points and 6.3 rebounds. He is coming off a 19-point, 11-rebound effort against Cincinnati on Thursday.
