Illinois vs Houston Betting Analysis
The Big Ten will have a couple of teams in action on Thursday. College basketball odds have Illinois as a 2½-point underdog against the Houston Cougars.
The Illini have been impressive in their first two wins, crushing Penn by 35 and then smacking VCU by 21. The latter victory is more impressive as it comes against a team that downed North Carolina.
For Houston, it was also two romps. The Cougars won by 31 in each game, walloping Idaho and Texas A&M. The Houston victories both came against weaker competition, as the Aggies struggled late in the season.
The total for this one is 140 points. The under feels the way to go. It should be a tight game that comes down to defense, which means points will be at a premium.
Pick: Under 140 points
