The Houston Cougars enter Monday night’s matchup with a clear edge over a banged-up Baylor squad. While the Bears will regain key perimeter players in Edgecombe and Love, they are likely to be without a crucial frontcourt presence in Ojianwuna. That absence could be a major problem against a Houston team that thrives on dominating the boards.
Beyond their rebounding prowess, the Cougars are also one of the best perimeter defensive teams in the Big 12, which could neutralize Baylor’s strength as a three-point shooting team. Additionally, Houston is nearly unbeatable at home, suffering just one loss all season while leading the conference in scoring margin.
Turnovers could be a concern for Houston, as they rank 16th in the Big 12 in giveaways. However, Baylor hasn’t been much better, sitting just three spots ahead in that category. Where Houston truly holds the advantage is in perimeter shooting. The Cougars lead the conference in three-point percentage, which bodes well against a Bears defense that ranks near the bottom of the Big 12 in defending the perimeter.
Ultimately, this matchup is heavily tilted in Houston’s favor. The Cougars have the size, shooting, and defensive edge to take control of this game early. With Baylor missing a key piece inside and struggling to contain three-point shooters, Houston should handle business and secure a convincing victory. Take Houston ATS
