Tulsa at Houston Game Preview

Why Tulsa Will Win

What can Tulsa do to make things any better than the 89-50 loss to Houston at the end of 2022?

The Golden Hurricane will keep firing from three and they’re strong at defending from the outside. Houston is among the best teams in the nation at guarding the three, but that this might be a strength in numbers thing.

They’ll put up at least 25 throws from the outside and make the Cougars work for every one of them. If they can make seven of them, they might make this interesting. If they can get to ten, it’ll be a fight.

But …

Why Houston Will Win

Tulsa might shoot a ton of threes, but that’s because it has to. It’s going to have to do something to keep up.

Houston should be able to get on the move and score no matter what Tulsa does.

One side can get up and down the court and generate fast break points, and the other side can’t. Combine the ability score in bursts to go along with a killer defense that’s going to put the clamps down – Tulsa won’t be able to do much on the glass and it doesn’t get to the line enough – and …

What’s Going To Happen

There might be some thought at a let down, but the Houston loss at home to Temple last week should keep the team nice and focused to blow through this with a decent intensity.

Tulsa’s offense as is has a hard time cranking up the points. Houston won’t let anything happen early on and should cruise from there.

Why Tulsa Will Win

Start throwing, keep throwing, make Houston stop it.

The Cougar defense came up with a shocking performance in the 42-3 win over East Carolina last week, but for the most part the pass defense is getting thrown on at will.

Between the nine touchdown passes allowed against SMU, to the 486 yards given up in the win over Temple, to team after team hitting the midrange passes, the D will give up 300 passing yards to anyone who can throw.

Tulsa hasn’t always been sharp, but it will hit enough big plays to keep pushing the Cougar secondary.

Why Houston Will Win

Start running, keep running, make Tulsa stop it.

The Golden Hurricane defense gives up yards in chunks, but it hasn’t been awful against the more mediocre offenses. Houston’s offense can do just about anything.

It might not be consistent, but it ripped off huge runs in the SMU and Temple games and should be using for five yards per carry in this. That, and the passing game that’s connecting on close to 70% of its passes should work, too.

What’s Going To Happen

Both teams will make this a show of fireworks.

Tulsa has just enough firepower to be in the game deep into the second half, but Houston’s offense will take over late. The balance will will be enough to own the final ten minutes.
