No. 3 Houston @ Oregon

Current Records: Houston 4-0; Oregon 2-1

What to Know

The #3 Houston Cougars have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. They will take on the Oregon Ducks at 9:30 p.m. ET Sunday at Matthew Knight Arena. These two teams are strolling into their contest after big wins in their previous games.

Houston took their matchup at home this past Wednesday with ease, bagging an 83-48 victory over the Texas Southern Tigers. The Cougars relied on the efforts of forward Jarace Walker, who had 19 points in addition to six boards, and guard Marcus Sasser, who had 20 points and six assists along with five rebounds. Walker's performance made up for a slower game against the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles last week.

Meanwhile, Oregon made easy work of the Montana State Bobcats last Tuesday and carried off an 81-51 win. Five players on Oregon scored in the double digits: center Kel'el Ware (16), guard Will Richardson (12), forward Quincy Guerrier (11), center Nate Bittle (10), and guard Keeshawn Barthelemy (10).

Houston is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a four-game streak of ATS wins.

Their wins bumped Houston to 4-0 and the Ducks to 2-1. Both the Cougars and Oregon have easy wins in recent memory. We'll see which one's ego takes a hit when they face off.
