Who's Playing

No. 3 Houston @ Saint Joseph's

What to Know

The Saint Joseph's Hawks will face off against the #3 Houston Cougars at 6 p.m. ET Friday at Alumni Hall. Last year was nothing to brag about for the Hawks (11-19), so the squad is looking forward to a new start. Houston was 32-6 last year and is coming off of an 83-36 victory against the Northern Colorado Bears on Monday.

Since the experts predict a defeat, Saint Joseph's will need to dig deep. We'll soon see whether they can make the experts look bad.
