Houston -1.5 over UCF
On paper these two teams are pretty even.  UCF might actually have more overall talent from the starters, but Houston has the coaching edge, the bench point edge and I like how the defend the three point line.  UCF is a really big team yet they stink at getting rebounds.  That tells me they have size, but not the greatest of athletes.  Houston is great at grabbing rebounds and this team had the postseason experience from last year to deal with games of this magnitude on the road.  Take the Cougars.
