Now we have the Iowa State vs Houston Betting prediction for the Cougars.

Houston has a scoring average of 74.2 points per game, which places them 165th, and they shoot 43.8 percent (240th), with 34.8 percent coming from beyond the arc, which places them 135th.

Iowa State vs Houston Betting Pick

On Thursday, the Cougars demonstrated that they are deserving of the championship by crushing the red Raiders with a rout in the second half. From the beginning to the end, Houston maintained a strong defensive stance, but at halftime, they really turned it up, outscoring TTU by a score of 50-30 in the second half. H-Town had a total shooting percentage of 49.2 percent and came in 12-for-28 from beyond the arc. Not only did they perform admirably on the boards, but they also doubled up on TTU in the paint.

Additionally, Iowa State was dominant in its semifinal meeting against Baylor, preventing Baylor from shooting less than 40 percent from the field. While the Bears’ three-point shooters were only able to make five of twenty-four shots, the Cyclones were able to shoot ten for twenty from beyond the arc. Despite having a significant disadvantage in terms of rebounding, they were able to score 32 points in the paint and prevail in the turnover war with a plus seven turnover margin.

Both the Cyclones and the Cougars played each other twice during the regular season. ISU had a great shooting performance (9-for-17 from three) and a rebounding differential of -9, but the Cougars were able to pull out a 73-65 victory in their most recent matchup (which took place on February 19). However, despite shooting only 29.2 percent from three-point range and 42.0 percent overall, Houston never fell behind.

Tomorrow, I anticipate a result that is comparable. Friday was a terrific day for the Cougars, both defensively and offensively; with a conference championship and other things at stake, it is difficult to imagine how they could have played a lackluster game. I don’t see that occurring at all.
