Houston is a 12.5-point favorite and the total is set at 134. I think Houston wins this game at home, but Wichita State's defense should be able to keep this one competitive. Tyson Etienne has not had the best season shooting the ball this year, but I do expect him to be sharper down the stretch in AAC play. I think Wichita State covers here.
