Houston Cougars - NCAA Basketball Betting

The Houston Cougars have bounced back from a disappointing 2006-07 season in a big way this year, posting a solid 22-8 overall record and 11-5 record in Conference USA games in the BetUS.com Sportsbook at the time of this writing.

While the Cougars may not be the ‘Phi-Slamma-Jamma’ team of the 1980s that featured Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler, this year’s version of the Cougars features one of the best offenses in the nation as Houston averages a whopping 78.2 points per contest, (27th) despite the fact that they shoot just 41.1 percent from the field (282nd).

Junior guard Robert McKiver has led the way for the young Cougars, scoring 21.8 points per game and shooting nearly 40 percent from long distance.

Houston also shoots a collective 77.0 percent from the field, good for seventh in the nation while pulling down 11.2 offensive rebounds per game as well, (64th).

Head coach Tom Penders, now in his fourth season at the school, has firmly put his stamp on the program, winning more games in his first three seasons at the school than any other head coach in school history.
