No. 5 Houston Cougars +1.5 (-107) vs. No. 1 Arizona Wildcats – 9:59 p.m. ET

The Houston Cougars beat the No. 12 UAB Blazers to kick off their run in the tournament. They then faced No. 4 Illinois, one of the best teams in the Big Ten with C Kofi Cockburn, who was second in the conference in points per game at 21.1.

The Cougars were undersized compared to Cockburn, but coach Kelvin Sampson’s game plan execution was perfect, holding the 7-foot center to 19 points and limiting the Fighting Illini’s other scoring options.

While their figures could be inflated due to a weak schedule in the AAC, Houston joins Gonzaga as the only team in the nation with both a top 10 offensive and defensive efficiency rating per Kenpom, which has the Cougars as the second-best team in the country.

Furthermore, the Cougars have the best offensive rebounding rate in the nation, per teamrankings. Considering that Arizona gave up 20 offensive boards to TCU, Houston’s dominance on the glass could be a major advantage.

Arizona is a solid side and has arguably the best scorer in the nation in G Bennedict Mathurin, who willed the Wildcats to victory with a last-possession three to force OT.

I wouldn’t bet on him doing that again. I’ll take the Cougars to continue their impressive tournament run.

Sweet 16 first look: Houston vs. Arizona odds and lines

Looking at Thursday’s Houston vs. Arizona NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 odds, lines and trends. Here’s what you need to know.

The No. 5 seed Houston Cougars (31-5) and No. 1 seed Arizona Wildcats (33-3) will scratch and claw in a South Region Sweet 16 matchup Thursday. Tip-off from AT&T Center in San Antonio is scheduled for 9:59 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Houston vs. Arizona odds and lines; check back for our college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Houston made it through the opening week of the tourney with victories over UAB (82-68 Friday) and Illinois (68-53 Sunday). The No. 15 team in the nation plays a slow-down style. The Cougars are 11-1 over their last 12 games and have held foes fewer than 60 points in six of those wins.

Arizona advanced with wins over Wright State (87-70 Friday) and TCU (85-80 Sunday). The Wildcats needed overtime to get by TCU on Sunday. The nation’s No. 2-ranked team plays at an ultra-fast pace, and they use those extra possessions to their advantage. UA owns the NCAA-I’s ninth most effective field-goal mark (55.9%) on offense and the fourth-best mark on defense (44.1%).
