🔮 Houston vs. Longwood Prediction
Houston 81, Longwood 54
Houston can score points when their perimeter shooting is not contested. Look at what they did against Kansas. The Cougars made 11 three-pointers during the 30-point rout of the Jayhawks.
Again, the Lancers have yet to face this kind of opposition. No one expects Houston to shoot 26.8% from the field on Friday night. The Cougars should get out early and expand their lead from there — eventually winning by 25-plus points.

Houston will want to make a statement after scoring a mere 46 points against Iowa State on Saturday.
Longwood comes in, allowing only 67.5 points per game. However, they will try to push the pace against the Cougars. The Lancers average 75.6 points per contest.
The number here is significant when it comes to March Madness odds. Do not expect Houston to start slowly. The last five Longwood games have scored 130+ points combined.
