Baylor is tough as nails at home but Houston is experienced and has had a few strong true road performances itself. Houston matches up well here in my opinion. Houston's defense is on another level and it forces tough shots and decisions every possession. The Cougars are also really underrated offensively, as the shooting numbers aren't the best right now but Houston's shot quality is outstanding and it does the fundamentals really well. Baylor is not the strongest on the defensive glass and Houston can really make it pay there. Houston's backcourt is very experienced and that is important when playing in a tough environment. LJ Cryer gets to face his former team and I expect a big game from him here. At the light line, I will roll with the Cougars here on the moneyline.
