With the Cougars boasting one of the best rosters in the nation, LJ Cryer and company should thrive against a Tigers squad already making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
One of the best college basketball matchups of the weekend sees the Auburn Tigers travel to Houston to face the Cougars.
In the opener against Vermont, Pearl started Broome at the power forward position. It was a move designed to get him away from the constant double teams he saw a season ago, and to show off the outside game he’s spent the summer working on. It worked as he connected on two of his five 3-point attempts.
Kelvin Sampson is outstanding at limiting the damage the other team’s primary player can do, and there’s a possibility some players may get benched for Auburn as fallout from last night’s incident. Either way, Houston has the better team, the more favorable matchup, and the better backcourt.Auburn had an easy time against Vermont because it forced 16 turnovers, but that won’t be the case here.
Houston suffocated Jackson State in its opener, holding the Tigers to just 13 points before the break. While I don’t expect Auburn to struggle that much, I also don’t see it turning into a shootout.
