00:00 Houston and Towson later tonight at 630 p.m. Eastern Time down in Charleston.

00:08 It's a 21 and a half point spread in favor of Kelvin Sampson's Cougars.

00:13 125 and a half, a very low total.

00:15 Why?

00:16 Because Houston grinds the living heck out of the basketball.

00:20 Each and every bucket, each and every point, Donnie,

00:22 is earned against Kelvin Sampson's Cougars.

00:25 So far this year for Houston, they've won every game by at least 30 points.

00:29 Donnie, it's just they've been booked as a 34-or-more point favorite

00:33 in two of their first three, so they're only one and two against the spread.

00:37 This is the shortest number in favor of the Cougs this year.

00:40 Will Houston cover tonight as a 25 and a half point favorite?

00:44 I don't know how many possessions we're going to get,

00:46 because take a look at the adjusted tempo here for Towson on the season.

00:48 358th in the nation, which usually is okay.

00:52 We're going to run our offense like Novocaine, and eventually it's going to work.

00:55 That doesn't happen against the Houston Cougars.

00:57 You can go as fast as you want or as slow as you want.

00:59 They are going to defend you.

01:00 In their first three games, they lost to Colorado with Division I opponent

01:04 and only scored 57 points.

01:05 The next games, they're Coppin State, 70 points, Robert Morris, 66 points.

01:09 So in this basketball game, take a look at the Fanbula Sportsbook,

01:12 the Towson points prop is 51 and a half.

01:16 I'm going to go under the total.

01:18 That's incredibly low.

01:19 But if you're taking a look at an elite defense in Houston going up against a team

01:25 that's willing to take the shot clock all the way down, that's going to hurt.

01:28 If you're not getting fast break points against elite defenses, it's not going to work out.

01:32 And if you're walking the basketball up the court to set up your offense against Houston,

01:36 good luck with that.

01:37 I'll take Towson under 51 and a half points tonight, Ben.
