Gonzaga had a furious run to end the game against the Cougars, marking the first time in 15 games that Houston surrendered more than 68 points. During that stretch, they allowed 60.2 points per game to teams like Ari twice, BYU, Baylor twice, KU, and Texas Tech. The Boilers are an inconsistent team, finishing just 5-6 straight up and against the spread down the stretch. Purdue struggled to put High Point away in their opening game, leading by just three with a little over six minutes to play. The Cougars have appeared to be a team on a mission all season, and I expect them to be focused tonight and demonstrate to the Boilermakers what the best defense in the country looks like.
